Symphonie Fantastique at the Royal Festival Hall 

 Last night, the Year 13 Music A Level group waltzed through a glittering ball, entered a feverish dream, marched to their own execution, and spun into dark delirium at a witches’ sabbath. They took on the opium-infused visions of a tortured artist haunted by unrequited passion in an Orchestral Theatre production of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique at the Southbank's Royal Festival Hall.

 

 

Inspired by the composer’s own romantic infatuation with a young actress, this epoch-making work unfolded as a cinematic fantasy full of wild imagination and demonic madness – by turns gorgeous and grotesque.

The Aurora Orchestra and actor Mathew Baynton (Horrible Histories, Ghosts) led the audience on a creative orchestral journey through Berlioz’s hallucinatory tale of ecstasy and despair, passion and obsession. This unique theatrical concert interwove a completely memorised performance of the Symphonie fantastique with stage design, lighting, movement and Berlioz’s own words about his music, alongside a presentation of the work’s musical ideas with live excerpts.

The Pink Column 

The Feminist Society started a new monthly article ‘Pink Column’, an inclusive and open paper made up of submissions from the students at Sixth Form. It talks about a different feminist issue each month, and discusses topics talked about and plans that Feminist Society has in the future.
