Gounod stars in the Easter Concert at Palma’s Teatro Principal

The French composer Charles Gounod and his work Messe Solennelle de Sainte Cécile, which premiered for the first time in the church of Saint-Eustache in Paris on 22nd November 1855, the day of Saint Cecilia, will be the protagonists of the concert. A very popular piece of music that was performed in the main European cities, thus increasing its popularity.

Charles Gounod

Charles Gounod (1818-1893) is widely recognised for his outstanding operas, such as Faust and Roméo et Juliette. The latter was performed in Palma’s Teatro Principal last May, offering audiences the chance to see the opera in its entirety.
