7:00 p.m.

For his return to the Festival, William Christie has chosen to share with us the short opera by Marc-Antoine Charpentier from which comes his ensemble’s name, Les Arts florissants!

William Christie’s three previous visits to Lanaudière with Les Arts florissants were enchanting events, as only the baroque masters can bring us. Presented as a double feature with another lyric work by the same composer, this new production brings to us to the shining starts of the Jardin des Voix, their celebrated academy for young singers. A veritable origin story that brings us into the height of the Grand siècle of Versailles and Louis XIV, where dance and song combine through exquisite music.
