Béatrice et Bénédict

French composer Berlioz adored Shakespeare, as evidenced in his last work based on Much Ado About Nothing. Shakespeare’s clever antics are made even more delightful by Berlioz’s captivating music. Although the overture is a concert staple, it is rare to experience the opera in its entirety. For this production, Brian Dickie has assembled an international roster of top artists to give this French classic a contemporary twist.
