Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, Place des Arts has suspended all shows and other public activities until further notice. However, beyond this suspension of activities, certain productions have been obliged to postpone or cancel their shows. Festival de Lanaudière has had to cancel its 2020 season. Ticket holders will be contacted by email about the procedures to be implemented.
In the tragically short life of Robert Schumann, peerless icon of nascent German Romanticism, there is one grand-scale work that reveals him as the young composer, admired by Wagner, who would go on to achieve world renown: his secular oratorio Paradise and the Peri. The composition is a treasure of expressive ecstasy, somewhere between Eastern inspiration, fantasy and enchantment. After 14 years as Music Director of the OSM, Ken Nagano takes his final bow in this concluding concert of the Festival.
PROGRAM:
Robert SCHUMANN Das Paradies und die Peri, Op. 50
