CONCERT HALLOWEEN

Under the spellbinding direction of Nicolò Umberto Foron, experience a musical adventure in which the shadows of your National Orchestra become accomplices in black magic and bursts of laughter. This program, specially designed to thrill the whole family, features five works, each giving rise to five fantastic emotions. Judge for yourself: in Dvo?ák?s Spirit of the Waters, nature is transformed into a magical creature, between gentleness and storm, before you attempt the crossing to Rachmaninov?s Isle of the Dead, a mysterious world carried by the rhythm of disturbing waves.

And then? Stanley Kubrik made no mistake in his 2001: A Space Odyssey? here are a few extracts from Ligeti?s strange Atmospheres, music evoking a fog of sound. This is followed by the famous swirling melodies from Hitchcock?s film: Bernard Herrmann?s Vertigo Suite is a veritable musical vertigo. After so much excitement, it's time for an evening stroll along the enchanted Lake Liadov, populated by strange, discreet spirits. We look forward to seeing you in your most terrifying disguise!
