Flowerfield swoons to Chopin's 'Last Ballade'
The beautiful compositions of Chopin are the musical backdrop to this unusual concert, which tells the story of Frederick Chopin and his affair with the novelist and ‘femme fatale’ George Sand.
'The Last Ballade', directed by Roger Leach, offers audiences a dramatic insight, through the eyes of Chopin himself, into this extraordinary woman who has been variously described as both his muse and his 'vampire'.
