Bardi Symphony Orchestra: Swan Lake and Petrushka
About this event
Leonard Elschenbroich conductor Bardi Symphony Orchestra PROKOFIEV Lieutenant Kijé Suite TCHAIKOVSKY Swan Lake Suite STRAVINSKY Petrushka Star cello soloist turned conductor Leonard Elschenbroich joins the Bardi for this programme exploring how music can tell stories. The suite taken from Prokofiev’s music for Lieutenant Kijé, one of the earliest sound films ever made in the USSR, is full of character and lyricism. Following this, the music from Tchaikovsky’s ballet Swan Lake is some of the best-loved and best-known music in the repertoire, beautifully depicting a tragic story of love. This thought-provoking exploration of musical storytelling is completed in the second half of the concert by Stravinsky’s energetic music to the ballet Petrushka, which follows the lives of three puppets and is an entertaining tragic comedy full of a sense of chaos and mischief.
