Read more Opera in concert version Wednesday June 18th 2025 - Hercules Room Landi : La Morte d'Orfeo Stéphane Fuget continues his exploration of early Italian opera, after recording Monteverdi's trilogy of operas at Versailles. Following on from the latter (Orfeo, 1607), Stefano Landi's La Morte d'Orfeo (1619) sets to music the hero's return after his failure to bring Euridice back to earth. Grief-stricken, Orfeo renounces earthly pleasures. Dionysus takes offense, and delivers him to the fury of the Bacchae: he dies torn to pieces under their blows. Opera in staged version From Thursday June 19th to Sunday June 22nd 2025 Le Carnaval Baroque An original creation, a unique show: at the crossroads of Baroque music and circus arts, this Carnival tells the story of a day of festivities in Venice. From a picturesque feast to street theater and a manhunt along the canals, singers and acrobats enchant us with dances and popular songs. Concert Thursday June 19th 2025 Janus 2025: of past and present With a new work by Adrien Trybucki, the Pages and Singers of the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles, conducted by Fabien Armengaud and Clément Buonomo, offer a panorama of double-choir works from across the centuries, to mark the new partnership between the CMBV and Ircam. Concert Monday June 23rd 2025 - Crusades Room Mozart / Jadin : Concertos of pianoforte A jewel in the rising generation of French keyboardists, Justin Taylor connects these works through the dazzle they still bring today, the extraordinary freshness of youth and inspiration! Concert Thursday June 26th 2025 - Royal Chapel In the Style of the Masters The entire baroque period delighted in “parodying” and drawing inspiration from the music of the Masters, to whose style this programme is dedicated: Vivaldi and Rameau are the symbols of this, but their style, too, was much-copied. Valentin Tournet celebrates astonishing rediscoveries in this “original” programme, In the Style of the Masters. Concerts Monday June 30th 2025 - Hercules Room Bach : Concertos for 1,2,3 violin(s) For this exceptional concert of Bach’s famous concertos for violin, Théotime Langlois de Swarte, the young baroque violin prodigy, will direct the Orchestra of the Opéra Royal for the very first time. This is the perfect occasion to enjoy of Bach’s concertos for one, two and three violins, masterpieces of the genre and of late baroque, combining virtuosity and expressing singing in a tribute to the German composer. Opera in staged version Saturday June 5th and Sunday June 6th July 2025 - Queen's theater Vivaldi : La Senna Festeggiante This grand two-part Serenade, in the format of a small opera, brings together Virtue and the Golden Age on the banks of the festive Seine. The glory of the King of France is allegorically magnified by particularly sumptuous, virtuoso music. Concert From Saturday 12th to Monday 14th July 2025 Vivaldi/Guido : The Four Seasons The publication of Guido's Seasons in Versailles does not bear a date, but is thought to date from the period 1725-1733. In any case, Guido's Seasons are contemporary with Vivaldi's famous Seasons, perhaps a little earlier. So, who inspired whom?
