The genius dimension of Giovanni Legrenzi

Musica Mirabilis Festival, Clusone

“  Agrippina embodies a conflicted maternal love: she cherishes her son Nero, but he threatens her life, and she wavers between forgiveness and the instinct for survival in the face of his cruelty. This contrast is reflected in the two cantatas, one imbued with dream and mystery, the other steeped in political tragedy and violence.”

Marie Lys is an artist I have always loved working with. Her expressiveness, her mastery of the text and vocal technique make her an ideal interpreter for Handel, but also for Lully, where she shines with her perfect diction and vocal flexibility. After portraying Sangaride in Atys , she will be a masterful Proserpine. Her talent is recognized everywhere: Cleopatra, Jephthah, Salieri… and this is only the beginning of a rich and exciting collaboration.

Beaune Festival

"  Born in Florence at the beginning of the 16th century , opera quickly captivated Venetian audiences in the 1620s and 1630s. It then moved beyond the confines of court festivities and became accessible to the general public, who now paid for their tickets. Around 1650, Naples, still lacking a major opera composer, imported works from Venice, notably those of Monteverdi and Cavalli, leading figures of 18th - century Venetian music. Neapolitan adaptations, such as The Coronation of Poppea , bear witness to this. This program celebrates these two composers, enriched by instrumental pieces by Falconieri, for a Neapolitan touch!"

Founded and directed by internationally-renowned harpsichordist & conductor Christophe Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques champions a broad repertoire spanning early Baroque to the beginnings of Romanticism while shining a light on the great masterpieces of musical history as well as missing links and little-known works. Based in Paris, Les Talens Lyriques performs all over the world in ensembles of varying sizes, exploring genres spanning opera, secular madrigals, cantatas, airs de cour, symphonies, and the vast corpus of sacred music (masses, motets, oratorios, Leçons de Ténèbres, etc.).
