Following a triumphant debut with the Monteverdi Choir in December 2024, celebrated French baroque specialist Christophe Rousset brings his dramatic flair to Handel’s thrilling oratorio this Christmas.

The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists have been performing historically-informed Handel for almost 50 years, and are “unbeatable in the performance of this repertoire” (Scherzo). A stellar cast of soloists will join “the best choir in the world” (Trouw), bringing MCO’s trademark immediacy and drama to Handel’s festive masterpiece for the first time in over three decades.

Enjoy a new perspective on the hugely popular period ensemble Les Arts Florissants in Zankel Hall Center Stage, which invites audiences to sit on all sides of the performers. Led by William Christie on the occasion of his 80th birthday, this special concert features works by the French Baroque composers he has championed throughout his career—including Charpentier, Lully, and Rameau—with guest vocalists.

Commissioned from Cavalli in the wake of Louis XIV's marriage to the Spanish Infanta, Ercole amante benefited from the lavish resources of the French court. From this tragedy of absolute power, Cavalli thus created a grandiose entertainment.

The 2026-2027 season offers the opportunity to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the death of Francesco Cavalli (1602-1676), a master of Venetian opera dear to the heart of Leonardo García-Alarcón. Previously an associate artist of the Dijon Opera and recently featured with La Passion selon Saint-Jean , the conductor exalts the sonic richness of Ercole amante by uniting the Dijon Opera Chorus and the Namur Chamber Choir with Cappella Mediterranea. He also recomposes the dance sections, originally by Lully. To express the full flavor of a score teeming with characters and emotions, director and choreographer Raphaëlle Boitel draws on her circus arts background and fuses theatrical languages, conjuring up all the baroque flamboyance of a "Hercules in love"... but also a monstrous one.
