FINAL CONCERT VOICE RESIDENCY

JEAN-BAPTISTE LULLY
JEAN-PHILIPPE RAMEAU
CHRISTOPH WILLIBALD GLUCK
GEORG FRIEDRICH HANDEL

If the final concert of the Voice Residency is an event treasured by both amateurs and professionals, it’s because it allows them to discover the most promising singers of their generation in original artistic ventures that show them to their best advantage. After perfecting their treatment of contemporary music with Barbara Hannigan, here they are guided by Emmanuelle Haïm and the Concert d’Astrée through the enchanted byways of Baroque music. We shall be hearing, in an echo of Samson and the two operas including Iphigenia, a firework display of arias, ensembles and orchestral movements taken from the finest works by Lully, Rameau and Gluck – conducted in alternation by Emmanuelle Haïm and by Camille Delaforge, the woman conductor at her side.
