Fantastique: Symphonie fantastique Op. 14 Berlioz

Public

Symphonie fantastique Op. 14

Approved

South Bank Centre

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

By turns gorgeous and grotesque, it invites you to waltz through a glittering ball, enter a feverish dream, march to your own execution, and spin into dark delirium at a witches’ sabbath.

This unique theatrical concert interweaves a memorised performance of the Symphonie fantastique with stage design, lighting, movement and Berlioz’ own words about his music, alongside a presentation of the work’s musical ideas with live excerpts from actor Mathew Baynton (Horrible Histories, Ghosts).

Premiered at the BBC Proms in 2019, it has become one of the most talked-about orchestral events of the past decade.
