La Vague Classique: Ensemble Matheus and Patricia Petibon

A journey from traditional Spanish, French and English music to the shores of Baroque opera and its great masterpieces: Médée, Didon et Enée, King-Arthur, les Indes Galantes... The extraordinary voice of soprano Patricia Petibon lends a singular dimension to this musical adventure. With her instantly recognizable timbre, her expressive freedom and her acute sense of the text, Patricia Petibon translates the masterpieces of Baroque opera and the arias of oral tradition with equal intensity, giving this program a deeply embodied narrative and emotional force.
