CSO - The Bells & Symphonie Fantastique

Bells will ring throughout Music Hall as Berlioz depicts a haunted artist’s dreams and Rachmaninoff tolls through life’s phases.

Venue
Music Hall

What's Interesting
Can you hear the bells? Rachmaninoff’s choral symphony The Bells — inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s poem of the same name — evokes the experience of bells ringing through the phases of life, and features Cincinnati’s own May Festival Chorus. Then, Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique takes you inside the delirious fever-dream of a young artist driven mad by unrequited love. Fueled by opium-induced hallucinations, the visions culminate in a sabbath dance where the bells toll a haunting clamor
