Symphony Fantastic by Saint-Saëns, Ravel, Berlioz, lau 18 maí 2024, Frá (2024/2024), Leikstýrt af Rachel McDonald, Hljómsveitarstjóri Umberto Clerici, QPAC, Brisbane, Australia

Love, Lust and Madness Death has never sounded more alive than in Saint-Saëns’ Danse Macabre, where a violin charms skeletons from their graves so they can dance until the break of dawn. Then, allow yourself to be lured to the depths of a crazed composer’s mind in Symphonie Fantastique. Our Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici will energise the orchestra with Berlioz’s evocative cocktail of opium and desire and actor Eugene Gilfedder will set a nightmarish scene. Between these killer works you’ll hear Ravel’s Tzigane, rapsodie de concert, as Hungarian violinist József Lendvay will hold you in the clutches of this spellbinding solo infused with a gypsy spirit.
