VIRÉE CLASSIQUE | LÉGENDE ET POÉTRIE AVEC MARC HERVIEUX ET KENT NAGANO

Charismatic Montreal tenor Marc?Hervieux performs Britten’s song cycle Les Illuminations, setting to music the poetry of Rimbaud. Kent Nagano will conduct excerpts from Suites no. 1 and 2 of Peer Gynt, Grieg’s music to Ibsen’s fantastical play. The melodic richness of these suites has made them a huge success ever since their first performance.
