Art Sung - Jane Bathori: A Selfless Obsession

Mezzo-soprano Jane Bathori dedicated her life and talents to promoting the music of her contemporaries: Debussy, Ravel and Satie. The high point of her career was the rare opportunity to direct the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier in Paris during the Great War. Her artistic initiatives were a godsend to many composers, such as Caplet and Hahn who were at the front, and she supported the emergence of ‘Les Six’. The theatre buzzed with music of all genres from mediaeval to contemporary as well as many inter-art collaborations. ‘Art Sung- Jane Bathori’ brings to life a slice of forgotten history through music, narrative and artwork, and pays tribute to Jane’s vivid sense of determination to contribute musically to the war effort.
