About

The official opening of the Theme Country features sacred works by two leading French composers. Written while Messiaen was still a young man, in 1932, the score of Hymne au Saint-Sacrement was lost during World War II and the composer took on the herculean task of rewriting it from memory. The monumental Berlioz's Te Deum demands an orchestra and a chorus of gigantic proportions, including an organ that competes almost on equal footing with the exuberant orchestration. The soloist will be Cyrille Dubois, a French tenor who has gained great experience at the Atelier Lyrique of Paris Opera and where is regularly invited to perform. In 2015 he was named Lyric Revelation Singer of the Year at the Victoires de la Musique awards.
