BBC Proms: Berlioz’s ‘Symphonie fantastique’
Royal Albert Hall, SW7 2AP , [Venue Details]A concert of larger-than-life sounds, stories, and characters has Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique at its heart.
Heady, opium-fuelled visions create a kaleidoscopic sequence: a swirling ballroom, a march to the scaffold and a witches’ sabbath, all set to the obsessive pulse of unrequited love.
Sci-fi legend Philip K. Dick inspires Mark Simpson’s ZEBRA, a new concerto for maverick guitarist and former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Sean Shibe. The concert opens with Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration – no less than a musical struggle between life and death, climaxing in a promise of eternal peace.
