A candlelit performance of songs on the theme of death and madness
A Concert in the Cemetery with with Béatrice de Larragoïti & Karl Lutchmayer
A part of the London Month of the Dead
In Brompton Cemetery Chapel, London SW10 9UG
Guests will gather at the gates to the cemetery on Old Brompton Road shortly after sunset to steel their nerves with a bracing Hendricks’ gin punch before embarking on a candlelit procession through the gravestones until they arrive at the heart of the cemetery - the 19th century chapel - where French-Brazilian soprano Béatrice de Larragoïti will await to perform a candlelit recital on the theme of death and madness.
Drawing on her native French repertoire the programme will include Charles-Valentin Alkan’s mysterious “The Song of the Mad Woman by the Sea”, Poulenc’s chilling “My Corpse is Soft as a Glove”, Gounod’s “The Legend of the Bloody Nun”, Messiaen’s feral “Terror” and “The Gibbet” from Ravel’s diabolic (and diabolically difficult) piano suite “Gaspard de la Nuit”. Also featured will be other staples of the spooky Classical canon from Mendelssohn’s “Witches’ Song”, Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre” and “The Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath” from Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique.
