L’INVITATION AU VOYAGE: A mystery work to be discovered during this concert

In the clamour of great legends, Richard Wagner and Howard Shore respond to each other through music. This concert weaves a sonic bridge between The Lord of the Rings and The Ring without Words, where heroic motifs, dramatic tensions, and orchestral atmospheres reveal parallel universes. The orchestra becomes the thread connecting Valhalla and the Shire, gods and hobbits, heroes and giants, in an epic and lyrical breath. The orchestral surges, dramatic accents, and sonic colours unveil surprising correspondences: rides, whispers, and tragedies intertwine, while brass, strings, and percussion sculpt legendary landscapes. Listening to Wagner and Shore side by side allows one to perceive how motifs, dynamics, and orchestral textures respond to each other, revealing that great epics share common forms and energies. Like an echo to these works, L’Invitation au voyage, a small illumination, will surprise the listener and extend the musical dialogue between Wagner and Tolkien, offering a final burst of light and legend.
