L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato

Approved

Created in London on February 27, 1740, L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato is presented as a great lyric poem. Based on a libretto by Charles Jennens and James Harris after the poetry of John Milton, this pastoral ode was written by Handel in record time - barely two weeks. Unique in the composer's output, it uses three allegories, each illustrated in one of the three parts of the work: the Allegro (Gaiety), il Penseroso (Melancholy) and il Moderato (Moderate).

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