B茅atrice et B茅n茅dict
大象传媒 Philharmonic presents a concert performance of the music from Berlioz's last opera, B茅atrice et B茅n茅dict. With Daniela Mack as B茅atrice and Toby Spence as B茅n茅dict.
As part of the 大象传媒 Orchestras' and Choirs' celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the death of Berlioz, the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and conductor Ludovic Morlot present a concert performance of the music of his last opera, B茅atrice et B茅n茅dict. Written to a libretto penned by the composer himself and based on Shakespeare's comedy 'Much Ado About Nothing', Berlioz described his opera as "a caprice written with the point of a needle" and this work showcases some of Berlioz's most glittering music.
