Opera Matinee: D'Indy's Fervaal
D'Indy's epic opera Fervaal from the Radio France and Montpellier Festival, with Michael Spyres in the title role and Michael Schonwandt conducting. Presented by Penny Gore.
From the Radio France and Montpellier Festival 2019, Michael Schønwandt conducts Vincent D'Indy's rarely heard, Wagner-inspired, epic drama 'Fervaal'. Tenor Michael Spyres takes the title role as the son of the Celtic king destined to save his people from invasion and destruction at the hands of the Saracens. But fate has other plans as he falls in love with Guilhen, daughter of the enemy Emir... The tragic end of their relationship is foretold in the prophecy: 'only death will bring new life'.
Presented by Penny Gore.
