Synopsis
Augusta Holmès was the first woman to compose an opera for the Palais Garnier, La Montagne noire. Admired by fellow musicians Saint-Saëns and Liszt, and by poets Mallarmé and de Vigny, Holmès was a major composer of her time, notably commissioned to write the monumental Ôde triomphale to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution.
Marine Chagnon, pianist Yoan Héreau and violinist Simon Grimoin take a musical look back at the life and genius of a composer turned muse.
