Opéra Orchestre National Montpellier

The Montpellier National Opera Choir unveils its full virtuosity in a repertoire that is dear to its heart. Under the direction of Noëlle Gény, it will perform, for the greatest pleasure of all, an anthology of great choral pieces from the most beautiful operas… A beautiful musical interlude!

Great pages of opera

Vignette Theater

The opening performance is Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 , a rare gem, astonishing with its youthful vitality and intimate lyricism. Then soprano Golda Schultz illuminates André Previn's sensual Honey and Rue , a cycle of melodies fusing classical and jazz to poems by Toni Morrison. Carried by the orchestra, her radiant timbre captivates and illuminates this sensitive kaleidoscope of feminine emotions, from intimate murmurs to passionate flights. As a grand finale, Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier suite unfolds its intoxicating waltzes and fiery duets. Under the impassioned direction of Roderick Cox, this short opera becomes a symphonic poem where the human soul throbs, each note making our hearts dance. Between symphonic power, vocal confidence, and orchestral voluptuousness, this program weaves a golden thread between the centuries—where music always beats.

Harmony: Qigong #2

Paul Lay and Joël Suhubiette, artistic director of the Les Éléments Chamber Choir, pursued a parallel musical career that took them to Toulouse and then to Paris. The two musicians share a curiosity for all types of music, which they enjoy exploring and bringing into dialogue in original creations. Their encounter sparked a desire to confront their worlds and blend them into a unique creation. In this unique program, for which he composed the music inspired by poems by Pablo Neruda, Henry David Thoreau, Victor Hugo, and Emily Dickinson, Paul Lay presents several original pieces for choir and jazz trio around the theme of light. These pages are complemented by arrangements of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Henry Purcell, and György Ligeti for choir and jazz trio.
