Berlioz—Romeo et Juliette

Our choir's singing this on June 6 and 7

Someone cleverly managed some free advertising in the letters page of today's SMH


Next month the Sydney Symphony will perform Berlioz's dramatic symphony Romeo and Juliet, a work paid for by Niccolo Paganini, proving money can buy great art. Freed from the daily grind of writing newspaper articles for a crust, in nine months Berlioz conjured the high point of Western art music. Thank you, Mr Paganini.
