Requiem pour Ophélie
Raphaël Pichon and the original sound ensemble Pygmalion, which he founded, dedicate an entire evening to the character of Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet, a victim of patriarchal oppression and toxic masculinity. The Frenchman leaves nothing to chance in his ingenious program: he combines choral-symphonic music from Berlioz' Tristia op. 18 with excerpts from Ambroise Thomas' romantic opera »Hamlet« and Gabriel Fauré's Requiem to create a requiem for Ophelia. Baritone Stéphane Degout and soprano Sabine Devieilhe will provide brilliant vocal performances.
