Dive into Sheherazade, an unparalleled musical adventure with Thomas Vanderveken as its ideal narrator and the orchestra as its vividly coloured cast of characters.
With Sheherazade, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov crafts an orchestral tale brimming with colour, tension and fantasy. Each motif becomes a story, each turn reveals a new perspective. Under the baton of Hankyeol Yoon, the BNO makes these One Thousand and One Nights shimmer in sound and colour beneath the immaculate ceiling of the Henry Le Bœuf Hall.
As a passionate music lover, Thomas Vanderveken guides you through the score with clarity, curiosity and humour. A Symphonic Date where listening becomes an invitation to explore and savour.
