The seventh edition of the Académie du Jardin des Voix takes Italy as its theme. Generally, soloists must adapt to a predefined program, but with Les Arts Florissants’ young singers’ academy the reverse occurs: the programme is adapted to the individual voices, each piece being carefully chosen to show them off to best advantage. In addition, Sophie Daneman and Paul Agnew employ all their ingenuity and imagination to create a rousing and often humorous narrative that unites these fragments in a semi-staged performance.
ln an Italian Garden is a celebration of Christie’s great passion, ltalian lyric works from the 16th to 18th centuries, to be performed by instrumentalist of Les Arts Florissants and six outstanding young singers chosen from his master-class academy, Le Jardin des Voix. The first half of the concert explores the subjects of love, beauty, rage and jealousy with excerpts from the operas of Stradella, Vivaldi and Handel, as well as madrigals by the contemporaries of Monteverdi. The second half is conceived as a play-within-a-play with music by Cimarosa, Porpora, Haydn...
Le Jardin des Voix is coproduced by the théâtre de Caen and Les Arts Florissants.
Le Jardin des Voix 2015 is supported by The American Friends of Les Arts Florissants
