Have you seen the beautiful works of French sculptor Camille Claudel? They are masterpieces—way ahead of their time—that stemmed from the artist's passionate, unapologetic nature of being a true genius. In fact, she had developed revolutionary sculpting techniques which she wasn't recognised for, being the student and lover of French Sculptor Rodin. Unfortunately, her life too came to a tragic end.

Based on Into the Fire by American composer Jake Heggie, an upcoming recital at Alliance Francais brings together mezzo-soprano Anoushka Pokhare and pianist Nadine Jo Crasto. Before each piece, Jo Crasto will recount a story from the life of Claudel which inspired that particular piece.
