Classical music doesn’t get old this autumn in France

Issued on:
France is bustling with classical music events this autumn. Paris’s Opéra Bastille is performing Mozart’s timeless “The Magic Flute”, with Franco-Italian conductor Antonello Manacorda at its helm. He stopped by the FRANCE 24 studios to tell us more about how the themes of this Singspiel still apply in 2022. We also welcome Amelia Feuer, an opera singer who has launched “Le festival des femmes (pas) oubliées”. Its aim is to rehabilitate women composers that history forgot.
