Set List | 'Symphonie Fantastique (Orchestral Theatre Staging)', Berlioz |
Performance Notes | A diabolical witches sabbath, a riotous ball, a march to the gallows and an unrequited passion make up the hallucinatory narrative of Berliozs Symphonie fantastique. Inspired by the composers own romantic infatuation with a young actress, the score is a cinematic fantasy full of tragedy and passion, a work teeming with orchestral drama by turns gorgeous and grotesque. Nicholas Collon and the Aurora Orchestra perform this grandiose work from memory, in a specially devised production incorporating elements of design, lighting and choreography, as well as Berliozs own words about his music. |
