Program notes
Contrary to popular belief, the most monumental opera cycle in music history is not Wagner's famed Ring, but the Licht ("Light") series by Karlheinz Stockhausen, who dedicated 30 years of his life to it! On the stage of the Lille Opera, Le Balcon ensemble conducted by Maxime Pascal offers its epic interpretation of the fifth part of the saga, in a production by Silvia Costa. Freitag aus Licht will have you witness the deadly confrontation between Eve and Lucifer. Will light vanquish its foe, or will darkness prevail?
