The story

What Is O somma luce About?

The premise of O somma luce without spoilers.

In darkness we hear the notorious 1954 premiere recording of Edgar Varèse’s groundbreaking work Déserts, performed at the Théâtre des Champs‑Élysées. The soundscape then shifts to a different kind of Elysian field, where a spoken rendering of Canto XXXIII from Dante’s Inferno presents a final vision of Divine Light, in which Dante perceives humanity’s will and desire aligned perfectly with the love of God.
