Following directly on from the evening of October 30 at La Cité Bleue, the GCO dedicates this whirlwind day — structured in six musical courses — to a single region: Bohemia, which in every era has given rise to extraordinary composers such as Zelenka, Reicha, Dvořák, or Janáček!
The GCO and its distinguished guests will explore with you, in the warm setting of Le Lyrique, the melancholic and mysterious Bohemia.
"It is clear that music does not need much space to unfold its diversity. Artists hailing from this small region of Europe are unmatched in ricocheting, as in a dumka, between the deepest nostalgia and the exuberance of intoxication. Come to Le Lyrique to lean over a Waldesruhe and savor Martinů's Kitchen Revue." — Raphaël Merlin
