Details
Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann presents two of the most potent voices in 19th-century French music: Hector Berlioz and Gabriel Fauré. Feast your ears on a little Faust, once described as a "sort of opera," but filled with dazzling, Berlioz-style ear candy. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra also performs his plush and atmospheric song cycle Les nuits d'été, featuring the "magnificent and majestic" (Forum Opera) mezzo-soprano Juliette May. After intermission, Maestro Stutzmann brings out the internationally renowned ASO Chorus for Gabriel Fauré's hauntingly beautiful "lullaby of death," the Requiem Mass.
