Lucifer
Devoid of light, plopped down in the abyss, gnawed with vengefulness and longing for freedom: the fallen angel that Peter Benoit and Emmanuel Hiel perform in their majestic oratorio Lucifer resembles the main character of a contemporary Netflix series. Young conductor Bart Van Reyn directs deFilharmonie in a riveting performance of Benoit's forgotten masterpiece. None other than Werner Van Mechelen steps into the shoes of this diabolic figure and takes you on a romantic hell ride between life and death, fire and water, earth and heaven.
