Alexandre Nevsky / Omer Meir Wellber

Dive into a cinematic music experience that transcends borders and eras, featuring the Orchestre National de France under the masterful baton of conductor Omer Meir Wellber, accompanied by the sumptuous Chœur de Radio France. Lead the soaring tenor line with Ekaterina Segeeva, while choirmaster Nicolas Fink ensures every harmonic thread shines. The program celebrates two towering figures of film score—both born in 1938, and each a visionary in their own right. First, the lush, romantic genius of Erich Wolfgang Korngold as he crafts the sweeping, ardent orchestration of *Robin Hood*, transporting audiences into the golden exile of Hollywood’s golden age. Next, the bold, heroic spirit of Sergei Prokofiev’s *Alexandre Nevsky*, a monumental work forged in the disciplined skies of the Soviet Union, a collaboration with Sergei Eisenstein that culminates in the unforgettable Battle on the Ice, securing victory for Alexander, Prince of Novgorod. Experience layers of strings, torrents of lyricism, and the haunting, barbaric power of a Moscow‑style orchestra side by side with the grandeur of Hollywood’s sound, all in one unforgettable concert film. Enjoy the monumental contrasts and the unifying power of film music, as delivered with dazzling precision and heartfelt emotion by this world‑class ensemble.
