大象传媒 Music Day: 大象传媒 Singers

Music and Wellbeing - focusing on music's power to unlock memories for those living with dementia. Plus our opera matinee double bill: The Hand of Fate and Duke Bluebeard's Castle.

Music and Wellbeing - The 大象传媒 Singers perform a selection of repertoire focusing on the power of music as a tool to unlock memories for those living with dementia. 大象传媒 Singers soprano Alice Hulett tells us of her own experience of dementia in her family and introduces the 大象传媒 Music Memories website (https://musicmemories.bbcrewind.co.uk/). The 大象传媒 Singers also perform a selection of music inspired and written by composers and poets with a personal connection to dementia.
Followed by today's opera matinee double bill: Die gl眉ckliche Hand (The Hand of Fate), to Schoenberg's own libretto, plotting his own life events and concluding that man continues to repeatedly make the same mistakes, and Duke Bluebeard's Castle - Bartok's one-act expressionist opera based on the French literary tale La Barbe Bleue, from the Teatro Massimo, Palermo.
