A Season in Hell
21 October 2024, 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Ted Black and Dylan Perez’s dramatic and varied programme charts the tumultuous relationship between Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine that ended with Verlaine’s imprisonment for shooting his partner. Expect theatrical displays from piano and voice in Britten’s setting of Rimbaud’s Les Illuminations as well as a rare opportunity to hear songs by Josef Szulc, Jean Cras and Charles Bordes. Ted Black gave some thrilling performances for us in 2021 and is now rapidly establishing himself as a leading young tenor.
