When Berlioz saw the Irish actress Harriet Smithson playing the role of Ophelia in a production of Shakespeare's Hamlet in 1827, he fell madly in love. He set about proving it in a symphony that would give birth to his own unique and uncompromising musical language: passionate, witty, enraged, high-spirited, sardonic, tormented and proud. The Symphonie fantastique was born, and it eventually won Hector Berlioz the heart of Harriet Smithson as well.
