Forty years ago, in June 1982, Israel invaded southern Lebanon, dubbed Operation Peace for Galilee by the Israelis. A small guerrilla group came together in secret to resist this offensive. Formed and supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran, it officially declared itself in 1985 as Hezbollah: The Party of God.
Four decades later, this small group has grown to become one of the most important military and political forces in the Middle East. A party of resistance for some, a terrorist group for others, Hezbollah is admired as much as it is feared. But the organisation, practically a state within a state, is living through turbulent times as Lebanon is experiencing a major political and economic crisis.

Romeo and Juliet, as composed by Berlioz, is a singular work: A symphonie dramatique rather than an opera, a large-scale choral symphony indebted to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.

Their voices are joined by those of the Radio France Choir, and the instruments of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France conducted by Daniel Harding.
