Fauré's Requiem with ASO
Atlanta
Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann presents two of the most potent voices in 19th-century French music: Hector Berlioz and Gabriel Fauré.
Feast your ears on a little Faust, once described as a 'sort of opera,' but filled with dazzling, Berlioz-style ear candy. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra also performs his plush and atmospheric song cycle Les nuits d'été, featuring the 'magnificent and majestic' (Forum Opera) mezzo-soprano Juliette May.
After intermission, Maestro Stutzmann brings out the internationally renowned ASO Chorus for Gabriel Fauré's hauntingly beautiful 'lullaby of death,' the Requiem Mass.
