PROGRAM:
Variations on the Mauritian national anthemThe German composer Gregor Mayrhofer has written an arrangement of the Mauritian national anthem for concert orchestra, adapting its various lines for solo instruments. A treat.Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia, overtureThe Barber of Seville was performed in Mauritius for the first time in 1827. As for the Mauritian national anthem, Mauritian musicians will join the South African orchestra for the performance of this work.Boïeldieu: La Dame Blanche, overtureThis comic opera was very popular in nineteenth century Europe but has since fallen out of fashion. It was performed in Mauritius in 1827 for the first time and was produced frequently during subsequent operatic seasons.Linzy Bacbotte: Creole songLinzy Bacbotte has composed two unpublished songs, orchestrated specially for this occasion by the German composer Gregor Mayrhofer.Hérold: Zampa, overtureZampa or the Fiancée of Marble was likewise a popular nineteenth century comic opera now long forgotten, much like La Dame Blanche. Written in Paris in 1831, it was performed in Mauritius for the first time in 1836. This overture, particularly virtuosic, is a masterpiece in itself.Linzy Bacbotte: Creole songAs with the above, this is an unpublished song whose title remains a secret.Bizet: 1st orchestral suite from CarmenThis orchestral suite quotes most of the themes of the opera and will allow us a glimpse into the brilliant mind of Bizet, who is most famous for Carmen but also wrote the Pearl Fishers. As from 1885, Carmen was produced several times in Mauritius and some of the older generation can still recall the particularly polished 1939 performance. |
