Concerts

« Music and the voice of the Emperor »

This cycle of 14 concerts brings to life the epic thunder of battles and other sounds of war from the Napoleonic campaigns. Over the course of the cycle, the concerts delve freely into the different music composed during that period as well as later pieces that refer to it. From the violence of the battlefield to the luxurious privacy of a salon, from the Opera stage to the rigour of the Conservatoire, music is undeniably a vehicle of Napoleonic strategy. Since Napoleon was best placed to talk about it, the voice of the Emperor is given pride of place – along with the voices of those who have echoed him.

« The emperor counter-attacks »

Since the dawn of cinema, numerous filmmakers from France and the rest of the world have been fascinated by Napoleon Bonaparte. The big and small screen have thus perpetuated Napoleon’s legacy to an extent he could not have imagined, by highlighting his military brilliance and his role as a master strategist at the heart of a vast array of military and political matters.
