Karine Deshayes/Florian Sempey - Rossini Mélodiste by Various, Dv. 08 Jul. 2022, De (2022/2022), Hôtel Maynier d'Oppède, Aix-en-Provence, France

Rossini is one of the leading composers of this edition, which revives the great bel canto hours of the Festival. Indeed, the many facets of Rossini’s genius – sometimes overlooked – include a rich production of melodies. Mezzo-soprano Karine Deshayes and baritone Florian Sempey – two exceptional ambassadors making their Festival debut – will guide us through this repertoire which ignores borders between languages and cultures, and offers some beautiful surprises.
