l’Orchestre National de France, l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France et le Chœur de Radio France conducted by Frank Strobel - La Seine Musicale
Program Info: Symphonic film concert screening of Abel Gance's “Napoléon”, entirely reconstructed and restored by the Cinémathèque française, and accompanied by the National Orchestra of France, the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra and the Radio France Choir, under the directed by Frank Strobel. Presentation
Abel Gance's Napoleonic epic finally revealed, after 16 years of work, in its new, complete and definitive 7-hour version, in 2 parts on July 4 and 5 at La Seine Musicale. The Cinémathèque française carried out, with the support of the CNC, this colossal reconstruction of the film Napoléon which had been the subject of numerous reassembly and mutilations throughout its history. It has never been presented to the public again, in its original and complete version known as the “Grand Version”, since 1927.
For this world premiere, the National Orchestra of France, the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra and the Radio France Choir, will perform under the direction of Frank Strobel the new score of the film created, for this occasion, from the classical repertoire. The most impressive film about Napoleon Bonaparte in 100 years, with its legendary final triptych, will be projected on a giant screen with more than 250 musicians on stage covering 300 years of symphonic music. An exceptional symphonic film concert worthy of this monument of cinema, released in 1927.
