Les Arts Florissants

About this event

This event is a rental and not a Lobero presentation “Astonishingly beautiful… wonderful sensuousness of tone and rhythmic precision.” The Guardian (U.K.) Les Arts Florissants brings the passionate music of Claudio Monteverdi vividly to life in a program of sensual madrigals, heartbreak, desire and dazzling vocal interplay. Led by Baroque masters William Christie and Paul Agnew, this historic French ensemble performs with exquisite artistry and dramatic immediacy, capturing a revolutionary moment when music became intensely emotional, theatrical and deeply human. Four centuries later, Monteverdi’s music still feels startlingly modern. Program Monteverdi: Volgendo il ciel Baci soavi e cari Ecco mormorar l’onde Chiome d’oro Lamento della Ninfa Sfogava con le stelle Si ch’io vorrei morire A quest’olmo Il Combattimento Romanesca Zefiro Torno Ballo: Tirsi e Cloro
