Summary
Sakari Oramo leads the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus at the Barbican, performing Berg’s Lulu Suite with soprano Anu Komsi alongside Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique.
Why it's fantastic
Hear the orchestral equivalent of a fever dream in Berlioz’s masterpiece, famously written to depict an obsessive, opium-fuelled hallucination. Before that, the pairing of a soprano and the full weight of the chorus brings a dark, theatrical edge to the evening with the twisted glamour of Berg’s noir-inspired suite.
