Described as "one of the great pagans of Baroque music", Christophe Rousset has been leading Les Talens Lyriques in provocative renditions of the gems of early opera as well as newly unearthed masterpieces since 1991, and their energetic performances have never failed to thrill and astonish audiences around the world. In this special performance, Les Talens Lyriques is joined by soprano Anna Maria Panzarella for a concert of airs de cour and cantatas, including Montéclair’s impassioned La Morte di Lucrezia.
Come hear for yourself why Rousset’s "flamboyant style and controversial crusades" have earned him a reputation as "music’s greatest mischief-maker"!
