Breakfast with Philip Venables at the Palais Garnier

This artistic meeting gave us the opportunity to exchange with the British composer and to talk about his artistic vision, his creative process, and the importance of sustaining and promoting contemporary works in the opera sector. Before leaving, guests were offered an exclusive copy of the first page of the score for “Denis & Katya”, signed by Philip Venables.

Philip Venables’ latest opera, “The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions”, will be performed at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, on 7, 8, and 9 July 2023.
