BERLIOZ Les Troyens, Part II: The Trojans at Carthage, Op. 5

This concert is underwritten by Yoko Nagae Ceschina.

More Information:

In Part II of his great epic, Berlioz follows his Trojan heroes to Carthage, where their leader, Aeneas, finds the most profound of all loves. But destiny decrees that he is to travel onward and found Rome. Here the story turns intensely human, and Berlioz brings it to life with music of sweeping passion, grandeur, and heartbreak.
