Overview

The first concert of the Rachmaninoff cycle this season with Dmitry Masleev.

Since his First Prize at the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in 2015, the Russian pianist’s small number of appearances thus far in France have met with unanimous praise and support. This was the case with the extraordinary Concerto No 1 by Tchaikovsky with the Orchestre National de France in 2020 and his early recitals at La Roque-d’Anthéron, at the Paris Philharmonie and here at the Théâtre. Most of Rachmaninoff’s body of work for piano was written in the first half of his life, prior to the Russian Revolution of 1917. His style became more pronounced with Pièces from opus 3 (1892), and developed with the Moments Musicaux of op. 16 four years later, before reaching maturity in the Preludes and Etudes-Tableaux (1902-1916). At the first concert tonight, Masleev will set Rachmaninoff in counterpoint to Mendelssohn.

Venue Info

Théâtre des Champs-Elysées - Paris
15 Avenue Montaigne

The Théâtre des Champs-Élysées is an entertainment venue situated near Avenue des Champs-Élysées, from which it takes its name. Its eponymous main hall may seat up to 1,905 people.

Commissioned by impresario Gabriel Astruc, the theatre was built from 1911 to 1913 upon the designs of brothers Auguste Perret and Gustave Perret following a scheme by Henry van de Velde, and became the first example of Art Deco architecture in the city. Less than two months after its inauguration, the Théâtre hosted the world premiere of the Ballets Russes' Rite of Spring, which provoked one of the most famous classical music riots.

At present, the theatre shows about three staged opera productions a year, mostly baroque or chamber works more suited to the modest size of its stage and orchestra pit. It also houses an important concert season. It is the home venue of the Orchestre National de France and the Orchestre Lamoureux and serves as a French base for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra as well.

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées and Ensemble orchestral de Paris play most of their concerts here too, along with other dance, chamber music, recital, and pop events.
