Amongst other things, art exists to try and explain the profound, channelling the artist’s thoughts and feelings into paintings, literature or, in this case, music. Death and what lies beyond is naturally a frequent topic, most often contemplated by creatives with decades behind them - not so for three out of four of the composers on this Prom’s programme. Lili Boulanger, Olivier Messiaen, and Richard Strauss were all in their early 20s when their selected pieces were composed; Karol Szymanowski, by contrast, was in his 40s. Yet each composition suggests a weight of emotion and experience beyond their years.

Since The Lost Boys took Broadway by storm this spring, there has been much chatter about the “vampire curse” on Broadway being lifted. In the early 2000s, Broadway received a string of three vampire musicals, which all closed relatively quickly. Dance of the Vampires (2002), Dracula (2004), and Lestat (2006) each received attention in their own right, but they also received attention as a group, since it was remarkable that they came along in such quick succession. But the early 21st century wasn’t the first time vampires thirsted on Broadway. The play adaptation of Dracula was a hit all the way back in 1927 and an even bigger hit in a 1977 revival.
