NCH is pleased to collaborate on this new commission by Katia and Marielle Labèque for Phillip Glass. 

In 1964, at the age of 27, Philip Glass moved to Paris to study under Nadia Boulanger. Their meeting would prove decisive in the young composer’s training and afforded him an immersion into French culture that left a lasting impression on the artist. His love of France also gave him a command of the French language that would help him to write and versify the operas that he dedicated to Cocteau during the 1990s.

In 2021, Katia and Marielle Labèque created the instrumental suites for two pianos taken from Philip Glass’s opera Les Enfants Terribles, based on the film by Cocteau. The success of both the record and their concerts – held at venues including the Philharmonie de Paris – left the pianists all the more eager to ask Philip Glass and his music director Michael Riesman to complete the trilogy by applying the same method to the remaining two operas in the Cocteau Trilogy: Orphée and La Belle et la Bête.

Katia and Marielle Labèque are renowned for the energy and synchronicity of their duets. They are regularly invited as guest performers by the most prestigious orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, Bayerischer Rundfunk, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Orchestre de Paris, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and the Vienna Philharmonic, led by conductors such as Marin Alsop, Semyon Bychkov, Gustavo Dudamel, Gustavo Gimeno, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, Pietari Inkinen, Louis Langrée, Zubin Mehta, Andrés Orozco-Estrada, Seiji Ozawa, Antonio Pappano, Matthias Pintscher, Georges Prêtre, Sir Simon Rattle, Santtu-Matias Rouvali, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Michael Tilson Thomas, and Jaap van Zweden.

The concert is presented in a special design by acclaimed French director Cyril Teste (Artistic Director) and Nina Chalot (Stage Design).

Produced by Philharmonie de Paris in a Co-production with Barbican Centre, National Concert Hall - Dublin, Cité Musicale - Metz, Opéra National de Bordeaux.
