Production Changes

Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 31 May 18 - T126406906

Prom 16 - Stravinsky, Debussy & Wagner

Work:: Prom 16 (S343)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Stravinsky, Debussy & Wagner (T126406906)

Sabine Devieilhe and Anna Stephany are the soloists in centenary composer Claude Debussy's Wagner-infused, mythical-fantasy cantata La damoiselle elue. Wagner's relationship with Paris soured over his opera Tannhauser but Stravinsky was practically adopted by the city. Tonight's second half features two of the latter's most colourful scores, whose striking resemblances result from the fact that Stravinsky broke off work on The Nightingale (the opera on which tonight's symphonic poem is based) in order to write his first ballet, The Firebird.

Performer	Sabine Devieilhe (soprano)
Performer	Anna Stephany (mezzo soprano)
Company	Halle Choir (female voices)
Company	Halle Youth Choir (female voices)
Company	Halle
Conductor	Mark Elder
