Roméo et Juliette – BRSO mit Robin Ticciati

In the organizer's words:

Few love stories are as famous - and as tragic - as that of Romeo and Juliet. Robin Ticciati brings it back to life with Berlioz's dramatic symphony in his impressive reading.

Hector Berlioz, a pioneer of musical Romanticism, was enthusiastic about Shakespeare's plays throughout his life, almost obsessed with them. However, he did not want to turn Romeo and Juliet into an opera, but rather find a new form that would appeal to the audience's imagination as imaginary theater: While Berlioz entrusts the voices of the lovers entirely to the orchestra, the outstanding choir of the Bayerischer Rundfunk takes center stage in this symphony when it embodies the two hostile families Montague and Capulet as a double choir, singing against each other.
