The Flower Duet
The design of the Flower Duet fireworks show came into being exclusively in the company of beautiful melodies and outstanding singing performances, under influence of music with which and for which to work is sheer delight.
The spectators will hear compositions by such authors as Saint-Saens, Prokofiev, Gershwin or Massenet, but also fruits of cooperation between Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass.
The Flower Duet composition, from the opera Lakmé by Leo Delibes, became inspiration for the whole show, whose climax is expressed by a part of “Ode to Joy” from the 9th Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven. World-renowned orchestras accompany voices of star singers, such as Harolyn Blackwell, Mady Mesplé or Danielle Millet.
The visual framework of the show rests upon pyrotechnical products of Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese manufacturers as Panzera, Vaccalluzzo, Ricardo Caballer, Pirofantasia or Luso Pirotecnia…
Music and fire as a joyful duet, with playfulness of thousands of sparks on summer sky, energy radiating from countless flowers blooming in the heat, in emotional consonance, in common rhythm, in simultaneous precious moment of celebration…
Joy, beautiful spark of Gods,
Daughter of Elysium
We enter, fire-imbibed
Heavenly, thy sanctuary
Introductory lines of Ode to Joy poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785.
