Winter in Majorca
The story of Frederick Chopin and his dramatic stay in a monastery on the island of Majorca with his lover, the writer George Sand. The music that came out of this adventure, preludes, polonaises and muzurkas, are amongst his best-loved works and are played live as part of the action. The set recreates the monastic cell in which the lovers stayed, while lights, sound and music conjure up the atmosphere of this strange interlude in the composer’s life.
