Ambroise Thomas Gala

Concert Opera
© Jérémy Torres / Cyril Cosson / Marie Fady / Julien Benhamou
Ambroise Thomas (1811-96), who was at the heart of musical life in his day, now seems to have fallen into almost total obscurity. This gala offers insight into this contemporary of Berlioz through a selection of pieces from his extensive catalogue.
