50 ans du Choeur de l'Orchestre de Paris
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Chœur de l’Orchestre de Paris, the Orchestre de Paris performs Hector Berlioz's monumental dramatic symphony, Roméo et Juliette. Following a discovery of Shakespeare in 1827, Berlioz spent a decade dreaming of this project before composing this hybrid masterpiece that blends orchestral power with choral and solo voices. The performance features a trio of renowned soloists, including Marianne Crebassa, specifically chosen for her warmth and suitability for the French repertoire. The work utilizes the orchestra to represent the lovers themselves while soloists like the bass, performing as Friar Laurence, and the choir comment on the unfolding drama.
