Symphonie fantastique, op. 14

Valide

Principal Conductor Nicholas Collon talks about how we're bringing Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique (performed from memory) to life in our Orchestral Theatre production at the BBC Proms.

BBC Proms: Fantastique: Symphonie fantastique Op. 14 Berlioz

Waltz through a glittering ball, enter a feverish dream, march to your own execution, and spin into dark delirium at a witches’ sabbath. Take on the opium-infused visions of a tortured artist haunted by unrequited passion in this Orchestral Theatre production of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique.

Inspired by the composer’s own romantic infatuation with a young actress, this epoch-making work unfolds as a cinematic fantasy full of wild imagination and demonic madness – by turns gorgeous and grotesque.

Aurora Orchestra and actor Mathew Baynton (Horrible Histories, Ghosts) invite you to a creative orchestral journey through Berlioz’s hallucinatory tale of ecstasy and despair, passion and obsession. This unique concert interweaves a memorised performance of the Symphonie fantastique with theatrical design, lighting, movement and Berlioz’s own words about his music, alongside a presentation of the work’s musical ideas with live excerpts.

Orchestral Theatre staging concept by Aurora Orchestra.
