Concert Information
βOh! How can I find her β the Ophelia, the Juliet for whom my heart cries! To intoxicate myself with the anguish and joy that is true love!β LΓ©lio is a lover, a dreamer - and a composer. And if you think his name sounds a bit like Berlioz: well, we donβt want to give too much away about 'LΓ©lio or The Return to Life' β the extraordinary autobiographical musical drama that Berlioz composed in 1831 at the height of an unrequited love affair. But itβs utterly unique: a delirious odyssey through the Romantic imagination, told in some of Berliozβs most flamboyantly original music. In a change to the originally advertised conductor, Pascal RophΓ© brings all his sense of theatre to this rare full performance, preceded by the composerβs Walter Scott-inspired 'Waverley' overture, and Karen Cargill in the sensuous and dramatic solo cantata, 'The Death of Cleopatra'.
This concert is part of βBerlioz - The Ultimate Romanticβ, a celebratory weekend of live and specially recorded concerts showcasing the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Orchestras and Choirs, as well as the Ulster Orchestra, marking the anniversary of the remarkable composer, writer, and master-orchestrator Hector Berlioz, who died on 8 March 1869. βBerlioz - The Ultimate Romanticβ runs from 15-17 February and all performances and this unique collection of broadcasts will be available on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 and will be available for 30 days on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds.
The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ SSOβs concert in Glasgow will be broadcast live on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 - presented by Mark Forrest. It will also be live streamed via the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ SSO website and via YouTube (and will be available for 30 days on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer).
