\u201cWe are proud to have played a part in presenting the innovative opening work of Festival d\u2019Aix-en-Provence directed by the acclaimed Romeo Castellucci and inspired by Gustav Mahler\u2019s most celebrated symphony, under this year\u2019s theme of Trial and Rebirth. The exceptional new operatic staging comes as the world experiences its very own renewal following the stifling restrictions brought upon by the pandemic. The compelling music of the world-renowned Orchestre de Paris, which has performed before on the stages of Abu Dhabi Festival in 2016, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, is sure to bring audience members together for an unforgettable experience, and will undoubtedly bring new life to the iconic Stadium de Vitrolles\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
