In Madame Bovary: Her Story in Music, Majchrzak reinterprets Flaubert’s 1857 masterpiece as a contemporary song cycle. Each movement traces a pivotal moment in Emma Bovary’s emotional journey, from hope to heartbreak.
Composed by Piet Souer, one of the Netherlands’ most versatile and award-winning composers, and written by Grammy-nominated lyricist Mary Susan Applegate, the album’s score blends romantic orchestration with cinematic lyricism, creating an immersive world of passion and fragility.
Anna Majchrzak: Giving Emma a Voice
Majchrzak’s soaring soprano captures the essence of Emma Bovary — her vulnerability, her longing, her quiet defiance. Known internationally as a star soprano of the André Rieu Orchestra, she has performed for millions worldwide, from Vienna to Buenos Aires, praised for her “angelic tone” and rare emotional honesty.
“Emma’s story touched something deep in me,” says Majchrzak. “She was a woman searching for meaning in a world that couldn’t understand her. I think we’ve all felt that ache. That hunger for beauty and belonging.”
She adds that the process of learning and recording the songs was unexpectedly instinctive: “I actually had to learn it really quickly before I recorded it,” she says, “but somehow I felt an instant understanding. Like the music and the story already lived inside me.”
The album was recorded in the Netherlands with a world-class ensemble. The collaboration itself began serendipitously: “It was after a performance when Marijke called me,” Anna recalls.
“She’d seen me singing Sisi on television and thought immediately — that’s my Emma Bovary. I was so honoured, and from that first call, I felt an instant spark.”
“I think it becomes more beautiful every time I listen to it. It might have a positive influence on my development as a singer as well.” That blend of classical depth and modern emotion feels like the right direction for me.”
The Cultural Resonance
By transforming Flaubert’s story into music, Madame Bovary: Her Story in Music creates a dialogue between the 19th century and today. It brings timeless human emotion into a form that modern audiences can feel, not just read.
Anna Majchrzak describes the project as “not just a music album. It’s an art project that connects literature, music, and performance in a way that feels both timeless and contemporary.”
This project stands at the crossroads of literature and sound. It speaks not only to lovers of classical music and opera but also to those discovering Flaubert for the first time. It reflects a growing appetite for art that bridges disciplines and makes classical storytelling newly relevant in a digital age.
Artistic Presentation and Future Vision
As part of the ongoing creative journey surrounding Madame Bovary: Her Story in Music, Anna Majchrzak will share select pieces from the album in a private presentation at the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam later this year.
While this exclusive showcase is not a public event, it represents an artistic continuation of the project. It is an intimate opportunity to explore how the album’s music and themes evolve beyond the recording, shaping future performances and creative collaborations.
