À propos

Schumann in majesty! An oriental tale, the redemption of a lost soul, a meeting between music and the visual arts… Paradise and the Peri promises to be one of the highlights of the Paris opera season. Austrian director Daniela Kerck, video artist Astrid Steiner and conductor Laurence Equilbey join forces to bring Schumann’s oratorio back to life, revealing his lyrical genius and orchestral flair.

After Weber’s Freischutz in 2019-2020, Insula orchestra continues to explore German Romanticism enlightened by new scenic and visual interpretations designed for the space of La Seine Musicale.

This concert is performed on period instruments.

This concert is produced by the Hauts-de-Seine Department and Insula Orchestra.
