Did you know that Berlioz composed his Symphonie Fantastique in just two months? In 1827, the young composer goes to the theater in Paris for a performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The Irish actress Harriet Smithson, performing the role of the tormented Ophelia, entrances him and inspires him to incredible artistic heights, leading him to compose Symphonie fantastique. They did get married eventually in 1833! Watch Leonard Bernstein lead the Orchestre National de France in an exciting interpretation of Berlioz’s unforgettable work, filmed in 1976 at Paris’s Théâtre des Champs Élysées.
