About this concert
Barber - Medea’s Dance of Vengeance
Berlioz - The Death of Cleopatra
Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 (Eroica)
Edward Gardner - conductor
Joyce DiDonato - mezzo-soprano
When the world is on fire, heroes fall as fast as they rise – and after Napoleon Bonaparte revealed himself as a tyrant, Beethoven furiously cancelled the dedication of his explosive new symphony.
Edward Gardner launches a season devoted to the subject of memory with the mighty ‘Eroica’ (Heroic) Symphony. First, though he shares gripping musical myths by Barber and Berlioz: tales of women who defied fate to remake the world. And who better to take the role of Cleopatra than superstar mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato – a woman who brings everything she sings to vibrant, dazzling life?
