INTIMATE LETTERS\u00a0AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
\n26 – 30 August<\/p>\n
In a dramatic collaboration with Bell Shakespeare, the Australian Chamber Orchestra performs Jan\u00e1\u010dek’s Intimate Letters and Smetana’s From My Life, sharing the stage with esteemed actors and led by London Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Gordan Nikolic.<\/p>\n
Inspired by more than 700 passionate letters written between Jan\u00e1\u010dek and his much younger, married muse, Intimate Letters explores their overwhelming and obsessive love.<\/p>\n
Smetana’s autobiographical From My Life soars with the joy and hope of childhood which gradually derails and ultimately descends into despair, as the composer faces the inescapable fate of impending deafness.<\/p>\n
