Concert version of Opera

Stabat Mater

Giovanni Battista Pergolesi

The other great “hit” of the sacred repertoire and some perfectly attuned neglected pieces. 

Don Giovanni

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Don Giovanni, or the unique anti-hero immortalised by Mozart and Da Ponte, will be brilliantly served by Florian Sempey.

Persée

Jean-Baptiste Lully

Persée by Lully, which is rarely performed, has all the ingredients of a monumental opera. Hervé Niquet has put together a fine team to bring this sleeping beauty back to life.

Le Nozze di Figaro

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

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

Johannes Brahms

A magnificent work by Brahms served up by the Radio France singers and musicians under the baton of Daniele Gatti.

Matthäus-Passion

Johann Sebastian Bach

A monumental work both in its form and duration, the Matthäus-Passion is the apogee of the Cantor of Leipzig’s choral work.

Jephtha

George Frideric Handel

Power couple Joyce DiDonato and Michael Spyres in Handel’s sombre Jephtha.

Der Freischütz

Carl Maria von Weber

A seminal work of German romanticism in which the supernatural and magic call the shots. 

Deborah

George Frideric Handel

A rare biblical oratorio in English by Handel, which provides us with another opportunity to hear Ton Koopman and Jakub Józef Orliński.

Mitridate, re di Ponte

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The youthful work Mithridate already contains glimpses of the musician’s mature writing, both musically and dramatically.

Semiramide

Gioachino Rossini

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

Gioachino Rossini

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.
