Symphonie fantastique

Approx. 120 Minute Performance

Maestro Tausk is joined by British composer and musicologist Paul Rissmann, as they discover and uncover the secrets to Hector Berlioz’s incomparable Symphonie fantastique. Completely revolutionary at its premiere in 1830, the piece is the product of an opium induced dreamscape. Dive deep into this great musical drama and discover its lasting power to surprise and astonish.
