Berlioz: Episode in the Life of an Artist is a symphonic theatre adaptation by Nick_Jones of composer Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique.

Narrative, dance, effected symphonic music, Shakespeare, Goethe, comedy, and tragedy weave into the adapted programme story that Hector Berlioz penned.

A sheet of Berlioz’s music transports him into dreams and nightmares where his romantic obsession is enticing, funny, painful, and terrifying.

Come see a concert reading performance of Symphonie Fantastique!
