The Concert
Kick-start your evening with a 60-minute Half Six Fix concert. Introduced by the performers, with screens in the hall to bring you closer to the action.

The Music
Hector Berlioz’s music was steeped in fatasy. Guided by his powerful, sometimes dark imagination, the French composer created bold, inventive music that was seething with drama, inspired as much by his turbulent personal life as the world around him.

Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique traces a wild plot, as the ‘artist’ protagonist, driven mad with love for a woman, takes opium and embarks on a series of hallucinations. It’s a tempestuous, unpredictable musical journey, taking listeners from waltzes and witches to nightmarish visions.

The Performers
Berlioz’s music has long been associated with the LSO, and Sir Antonio Pappano has chosen one of the composer’s most iconic pieces for his first season as Music Director. ‘The LSO has a history of playing Berlioz’s music, and that was important to me,’ he says. ‘One has to be absolutely faithful to the history of the Orchestra.’
