Operas staged version Saturday June 8th 2024 Their Master’s Voice – Cecilia Bartoli/John Malkovich : a gender duel The Austrian writer and director Michael Sturminger will be tasked with creating this custom performance, presented first in Monte-Carlo and then at the Opéra Royal de Versailles, followed by the Barocchissimo event at the Vienna Staatsoper. Concerts Friday June 14th 2024 Au Service de Sa Majesté Chapelles royales de Londres et Paris The dialogue between the small choir and the large choir, the sublime instrumental simphonies with their shimmering colors, the majesty of the discourse: between these two French and English repertoires, everything seems to respond to each other and converse with mutual admiration. Operas in concert version Wednesday June 19th 2024 Destouches: Telemachus and Calypso In Telemachus and Calypso, we discover Destouches’ unique dramatic effect and a constant focus on the “vivacity of flow” and natural declamation. The work also echoes his commitment to Louis XIV, then nearing the end of his life, with a great monumental chaconne with couplets and choruses of nearly four hundred bars, in tribute to the tradition passed down by Lully. Operas staged version From June 21st to 23th 2024 Monteverdi : L'Orfeo Jordi Savall and the Concert des Nations take on this performance, supported by the profound sensitivity of Marc Mauillon, reviving this inaugural tragedy, at once personal and universal, its resounding fanfares and sumptuous choruses retaining all their extraordinary power four centuries later. Repeat of the performance first presented on 4 June 2021 at the Opéra Comique. Co-production by the Opéra Royal / Château de Versailles Spectacles, Opéra Comique, Opéra Grand Avignon Operas staged version Thursday June 27th 2024 Purcell : The Fairy Queen A new production of Purcell’s masterpiece, this Fairy Queen focuses on youthfulness and inventiveness for near-total spectacle! In an enchanted forest, reality meets dreams, illusion and the supernatural, while the paths and love stories of young Athenians, woodland fairies and a troupe of actors cross. Operas staged version Saturday 29th and sunday 30th june 2024 Vivaldi : Gloria e Imeneo The two young star counter-tenors, France’s Théo Imart and Italy’s Nicolò Balducci, will combine their sublime voices – especially at home in the soprano register – to lend Vivaldi the quicksilver colour that so well complements his music. Accompanied by the Orchestra of the Opéra Royal, they are conducted by Stefan Plewniak, the awe-inspiring violin virtuoso, who promised to play a high-voltage version of the piece! The director Nicolas Briançon will bring this formidable musical allegory to life amid the incredible period sets of the Théâtre de la Reine, which have been specially arranged for the occasion. Operas in concert version Thursday July 4th 2024 Colin de Blamont : Les Fêtes grecques et romaines Rebel and Francœur, deserves to be rediscovered for his effective and endearing style, which Valentin Tournet harnesses as he conducts the Chapelle Harmonique, against a backdrop of the Paris Olympic Games!
