Rotterdam Philharmonic Gergiev Festival

Passion, heroism and high treason: With Les Troyens, Hector Berlioz created a great spectacle piece. With a blazing performance at Carnegie Hall last year Valery Gergiev had all of musical New York at his feet. Now it is Rotterdam’s turn to fall for Gergiev’s Berlioz, assisted visually by the stunning live animations of sandartist Kseniya Simonova.
