L’Incoronazione di Poppea
The last work by Monteverdi, the genius behind the invention of the modern opera form in all its theatrical richness.
Stabat Mater
The other great “hit” of the sacred repertoire and some perfectly attuned neglected pieces.
Don Giovanni
Don Giovanni, or the unique anti-hero immortalised by Mozart and Da Ponte, will be brilliantly served by Florian Sempey.
Le Nozze di Figaro
The first opus of the Mozart-Da Ponte trilogy has all the ingredients of an operatic gem and remains as topical as ever.
Ein deutsches Requiem
A magnificent work by Brahms served up by the Radio France singers and musicians under the baton of Daniele Gatti.
Matthäus-Passion
A monumental work both in its form and duration, the Matthäus-Passion is the apogee of the Cantor of Leipzig’s choral work.
Der Freischütz
A seminal work of German romanticism in which the supernatural and magic call the shots.
Mitridate, re di Ponte
The youthful work Mithridate already contains glimpses of the musician’s mature writing, both musically and dramatically.
Semiramide
A great opera seria by Rossini served up by no less great a performer in the title role than Karine Deshayes.
L’Italiana in Algeri
This adventure in the exotic East is an entertainment served up with humour and flair by the music of the young Rossini and the virtuoso conducting of Julien Chauvin.
