Artiste: Coro Gulbenkian

En partenariat avec la Philharmonie de Paris, l'Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg et le chef américain ont présenté une réalisation somptueuse de la symphonie dramatique de Berlioz.

After their terrific Troyens in 2017, John Nelson, Michael Spyres, Joyce DiDonato and Nicolas Courjal return to Strasbourg for a fabulous Faust. 

Infernal Dance - Inside the World of Béla Bartók is this year's South Bank Special series. It's quite an endeavour, since Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia will perform many concerts over 11 months, culminating in Duke Bluebeard's Castle in November. It's an important series, since Bartók's place in 20th century music cannot be overestimated.
