Cast Creative Edit

In a dramatic collaboration with Bell Shakespeare, we perform Janá?ek's Intimate Letters and Smetana's From My Life, sharing the stage with esteemed actors who give life to the stories which inspired the music. Our theatrical staging of Janá?ek's first quartet, the Kreutzer Sonata, received glowing reviews and it is exciting to give his second quartet Intimate Letters the same treatment, performing an arrangement for string orchestra under the direction of London Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Gordan Nikolic.

Inspired by more than 700 passionate letters written between Janá?ek and his much younger, married muse, Intimate Letters explores their overwhelming and obsessive love. 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.
