Carnival Concert
Carnival Season
‘I am currently writing a brilliant overture’, observed Hector Berlioz in a letter about his Carnaval romain. This piece, imbued with a jubilant sense of energy, became one of the composer’s most popular. The same verve can be found in the sparkling orchestration that Berlioz reserved for the ballets in his opera Les Troyens, steeped in exoticism. Not far from Troy, Swedish composer Christian Lindberg takes us to the shores of the Bosphorus – and even as far as Japan. His jazzy trumpet concerto, Akbank Bunka, inspired by his stay in Istanbul. Peer Gynt, the hero of the famous Norwegian tale set to music by Edvard Grieg, travels from north to south. Under the baton of Alain Altinoglu, the La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra will bring you warmth, colour and a change of scenery.
