Ensemble Les Surprises by Various, pen 18 vas 2022, Nuo (2022/2022), Dirigentas Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Paris, France

It is an understatement to say that these two, the organist, harpsichordist and conductor Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas and the soprano Véronique Gens have long cultivated a strong taste for 17th century French music .century. The first bathed in it from an early age and the second made him triumph on all the great lyrical stages. Their complicity is recent (a first concert around lyrical tragedy in Ambronay in 2018) but very harmonious. It will be a delight to see them together this evening for this program bringing together great arias from operas and some of the most beautiful dance suites of the great French century. The excellent instrumentalists of the aptly named Ensemble Les Surprises should, according to their habits, accompany our great national tragedian with passion and energy.
