CARMEN
Georges Bizet
Opera’s best-known, quintessential tragic heroine, Carmen is referred to in the title of a 2011 book by Jean Lacouture as “femme fatale et femme libre”.  But he says her struggle to free herself from a commonplace life leads her to “a death she seems to have chosen”.

SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE
Hector Berlioz
Daydreams, passions;  A ball;  Scene in the countryside;  March to the scaffold;  Dream of a witches’s sabbath.
In five compelling movements, Berlioz weaves an opera-like story of a young artist’s emotional and spiritual journey while in the throes of a hopeless love – and of his attempts to cope with frustration and sorrow through the poison of opium.
