Inside the Music
On Purge bébé !
Inside the Music is a series of musical lectures where you will learn all about the operas on our programme. For the world premiere of On purge bébé !, we welcome composer Benoît Mernier and conductor Bassem Akiki. The former took on the artistically and emotionally demanding task of finishing the last score of his mentor and friend Philippe Boesmans, the latter will soon bring it to musical life. Together, they offer you an accessible analysis of the score, with live musical excerpts. The lecture will be followed by a convivial reception.

Benoit Mernier
"When Philippe Boesmans suddenly fell ill, he asked me to finish composing his opera. When I went to see him in the hospital to talk to him about it, I would never have imagined that just hours later, he would be gone."
