Interval
George Bizet Carmen Prelude & Suite Excerpts
Tchaikovsky’s brilliant orchestration and gift for melody are both on display in the music he wrote for the ballet, Swan Lake. Continuing in the Romantic idiom is the much loved first violin concerto by Max Bruch. The FCO returns to the ballet/opera house stage after interval for music from Bizet’s Carmen, one of the most popular French operas ever written.
