An evening of intoxicating sonorities starring one of the world's most celebrated sopranos, Ren茅e Fleming. Two ballets; Debussy's sensual sylvan evocation and Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe, frame two works for soprano and orchestra. Robin Holloway's luminous arrangement of the composer's Verlaine settings, C'est l'extase, was hailed as 'a revelatory exploration of Debussy's musical style' at its premiere. Anders Hillborg's bewitching Strand Settings, expressly composed for Fleming in 2013, delve into the nocturnal world of the sea and secret desire: 'At once atmospheric, elegiac and unsettling' (New York Times).
