Handel and Vivaldi shine under Stutzmann and Jaroussky

Mardi soir, la Chapelle de la Trinité de Lyon accueillait Nathalie Stutzmann et son ensemble Orfeo 55 pour un concert dans le cadre des "Grands Concerts". L'occasion de présenter "Les héros de l'ombre", titre du programme mais aussi de son dernier album, "Heroes of shadow". 

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.

The world premiere of Marc-André Dalbavie's Melancholie des Widerstands at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden marks the birth of a new genre – the film-opera – starring conductor Marie Jacquot and Philippe Jaroussky. 

The French soprano delivers an A-list performance as the Egyptian queen, donning a variety of Hollywood guises at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.

Dreisig, Degout, Jaroussky – the cream of French singing puts the history of female composers on show for International Women's Day.
