As it happens, Foxtel Arts had already scheduled Le Concert de Paris 2 to screen tonight.

This 2 hour special was filmed in 2014.

In the light of weekend events, there isn’t a better time to rally behind France, even if the mood of this event contradicts current realities.

At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, just before the traditional fireworks, the National Orchestra of France, the choir and the Radio France choir have gathered to interpret the theme “War and Peace”, under the direction of Daniele Gatti. For several centuries, the greatest composers have used this theme to create great masterpieces. Featuring in this concert is “Alexander Nevsky” by Prokofiev and “Die Walkure” by Wagner.

Sunday November 15 at 7.30pm on Foxtel Arts.
