About This Event

An all-French programme inspired by the East, from the fragrant Indian gardens of Delibes鈥檚 尝补办尘茅 and the eroticism of Samson and Delilah, to Corfu with the adventures of Lalo鈥檚 Namouna.

Oriental demons surface in Les Djinns, complementing the vibrantly coloured music of Java and the Middle East that suffuses Saint-Sa毛ns鈥檚鈥楨gyptian鈥� Piano Concerto.
