Created in London on February 27, 1740,  L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato  is presented as a great lyrical poem. Based on a libretto by Charles Jennens and James Harris based on poetry by John Milton, this pastoral ode was born from Handel's pen in record time - barely a fortnight. Unique in the composer's production, it uses three allegories, each illustrated in one of the three parts of the work: Allegro (la Gaîté), il Penseroso (la Mélancolie) and il Moderato (the Moderate).

William Christie and Les Arts Florissants have already performed  L'Allegro  on several occasions, notably in a version staged by choreographer Robyn Orlin at the Opéra Garnier in 2007. To fully rediscover its musical flavor, this concert version offers a a more intimate vision of this masterpiece and brings together three great soloists from different editions of the Jardin des Voix, the academy for young singers of the Arts Florissants.
