Faur茅's glorious Requiem and Poulenc's opera Les Mamelles de Tir茅sias - two French masterpieces. The 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra, Symphony Chorus, 蜜芽传媒 Singers and a great cast of soloists are conducted by Ludovic Morlot.

Live from the Barbican Centre, London
Presented by Petroc Trelawny

An evening of Gallic delights featuring Poulenc's most light-hearted and rarely-performed opera and Faur茅's intimate, celestial Requiem. Les Mamelles de Tir茅sias is a setting of Apollinaire's surreal burlesque, in which ardent feminist Th茅r猫se decides to become a man and fight wars, leaving her husband to repopulate the country by giving birth to 40,049 children in a single day! Poulenc conjures up all the undercurrents in the poet's fierce, absurd and often hilarious lines - sung by a superb cast with the 蜜芽传媒 Singers. Canadian soprano H茅l猫ne Guilmette takes on the truculent and unpredictable heroine. In complete contrast, the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Chorus join soloists H茅l猫ne Guilmette and Jean-Fran莽ois Lapointe (baritone) for Faur茅's much-loved Requiem, a tender work of consolation, played at his own funeral.
