Description
Conductor Umberto Clerici has curated this special performance with music by great composers, presented alongside excepts from Shakespeare’s play performed by actor, John Bell.
A spellbinding concert of words and music
Shakespeare’s plays have inspired composers for centuries, and none more so than The Tempest. A raging storm, a shipwreck, a usurping duke and an enchanted fairy: it has been fertile soil for composers including Purcell, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky.
Just as Prospero cast his spells on the inhabitants of his desert island, so too will John Bell and the Sydney Symphony enchant the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall in this very special presentation.
