The Hallé
Stephen Bell conductor
Rebecca Bottone soprano
From great romance to revolutionary fervour, France doesn’t do things by halves. Passion and flair pulse through every corner of French cultural life, whether in the cool sophistication of its cinema, the rich flavours of its cuisine or the vibrant sounds of its music.
This concert takes us on a fantastique tour of French musical highlights, taking in spectacular orchestral favourites, grand opera, popular song and evocative film scores. Conductor Stephen Bell is joined by leading British soprano, Rebecca Bottone, who’ll be performing classical favourites from Gounod, Canteloube and Offenbach and the thrilling Catalani aria that’s central to the plot of the cult ‘Cinema du Look’ movie, Diva, by Jean-Jacques Beineix. The power behind the passion comes from the Hallé, whose 80 musicians will be treating us to orchestral favourites including Dukas’s magical tale, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Ravel’s whirling vision of decadence, La Valse. Completing the line-up is a trio of transatlantic cinematic gems from Michael Giacchino, Rachel Portman and Georges Delerue.
