The events of the Festival des Forêts will be organized while ensuring that the sanitary rules are applied. In the event of non-compliance, we would be forced to refuse access to the events without possible reimbursement. Thank you for your understanding.
Between sensuality and refinement, Berlioz's Summer Nights, interpreted by Isabelle Druet * take us to magical lands before the famous Wedding March, taken from A Midsummer Night's Dream and a detour through the land of tales with Pelléas and Mélisande. Philippe Bernold will finally perform Vers les Cimes, a work for solo flute commissioned in 2020 by the festival from Thierry Escaich, composer in residence.
* Awarded at the Queen Elisabeth Competition
