Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique at the 2019 BBC Proms

Conductor Nicholas Collon, Aurora Orchestra and actor Mathew Baynton invite you on a creative orchestral journey through Berlioz’s hallucinatory tale of ecstasy and despair, passion and obsession.

This unique concert interweaves a memorised performance of the Symphonie Fantastique with theatrical design, lighting, movement and Berlioz’s own words about his music, alongside a presentation of the work’s musical ideas with live excerpts.

Filmed live at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday 12 September 2019.
Orchestral Theatre staging concept by Aurora Orchestra.
