Ein königlicher FEL!X-Auftakt, der das Herz Liebhaber historischer Instrumente höher schlagen ließ.

Perth's HIP Company join forces with Sydney's The Marais Project for a charming evening of French Baroque music. 

Pour les quinze ans de leur collaboration, le contre-ténor et l'ensemble de Christina Pluhar explorent tout le potentiel émotionnel des mélodies baroques européennes autour d'un programme porté sur l'amour.

The superstar countertenor revisit the site of one of their early successes, with hits from Monteverdi and the court of Louis XIII. It makes for an extraordinary evening.

Le contre-ténor et ses complices ont livré un concert de haut vol, s'aventurant aussi bien dans des danses endiablées que dans des pages bouleversantes...

“We call you to witness that if our voices work wonders, our lutes, too, please both heart and ear”. These lines, taken from the translation of the first piece in tonight’s programme, summed up, for me, the evening. Not only did Le Poème Harmonique provide us with some truly magical singing, the instrumental group provided balance, entertainment and fun throughout.

‘Fêtes Galantes’ is one of those glorious French phrases that sounds so wonderful but is nigh on impossible to translate. Rather than having any concrete meaning, it evokes Watteau-esque imagery of woodland gatherings, where eighteenth-century aristocrats amuse themselves by flirting, dancing and making music.
