Vérone /leningrad – Palais des Congrès Neptune, Toulon

About this event

This is a symphonic concert presented as part of the Opéra Hors les murs format rather than as a staged opera production. The program combines excerpts from Prokofiev's ballet with two works by Shostakovich, performed by the Orchestre de l'Opéra de Toulon with Xavier Phillips as cello soloist and Victorien Vanoosten as musical director. The program places Prokofiev's Shakespeare-inspired ballet music alongside Shostakovich's First Cello Concerto and Fifth Symphony. The available records describe the musical and historical context of the program but do not identify a director, set designer, costume designer, lighting designer, choreographer, or separate staging concept. The performance is scheduled at Palais Neptune in Toulon, in the Auditorium Dr François Trucy, with a stated duration of two hours including intermission.
