With an astonishing output of over 60,000 works spanning more than 75 years, Picasso’s creative journey is as vast as it is transformative. Picasso Symphony offers more than just a glimpse of his masterpieces—it invites audiences into his world. Archival images, sketches, and studio scenes illuminate the creative process behind the iconic works, while a live orchestra provides a powerful soundtrack.

Structured chronologically, this experience mirrors Picasso’s artistic evolution, with each stylistic period paired with evocative orchestral works that reflect its mood, energy, and spirit. From the lyrical melancholy of the Blue Period to the fractured dynamism of Cubism, from the grandeur of Neoclassicism to the raw emotion of his War Years, the music and visuals unite to tell the story of an artist who never stopped reinventing himself.
