“Hope is a disposition of the soul to persuade itself that what it desires will come to pass.” This inspiring thought from the great French philosopher René Descartes gave rise to this programme. It conveys the certainty that love prevails over all inner conflicts, dispels our fears and breeds trust. With this matinee we are happy to return with Dorothee Mields to a festival which has been a wonderful partner for many years.
