Sir John Eliot Gardiner and his Orchestre R茅volutionnaire et Romantique continue their cycle of Berlioz performances, which will reach its climax next season in the 150th-anniversary year of the composer鈥檚 death. Some of Berlioz鈥檚 most colourful and dramatic works come together here in a programme that draws not only from concert works including the filmic overture Le corsaire and the magnificent symphony with solo viola Harold in Italy, but also from Berlioz鈥檚 great opera The Trojans. Star mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato joins the orchestra to sing Dido鈥檚 heartbreaking final scene.
