When Leonard Bernstein was asked by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to compose the inaugural work for the opening of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., he wrote: “The Mass is also an extremely dramatic event in itself—it even suggests a theater work.” Premiered on September 8, 1971, with additional words by Stephen Schwartz of Godspell fame, Mass is a remarkable, visionary work with a kaleidoscope of musical styles that touches on themes of political protest, existential crisis and religious faith lost and found.

Everything You Need to Plan Your Pagan Wedding

Dès leur création en 1723, Les Fêtes grecques et romaines, premier opéra de Colin de Blamont connut un succès retentissant. Synthèse entre la noblesse de la tragédie lyrique créée par Lully et le ton plus badin, avec ses divertissements chorégraphiques, de l’opéra-ballet créé par Campra, son livret redonne vie aux fêtes les plus connues de l’Histoire antique. L’éloquent Alcibiade se distingue lors des Jeux olympiques, Marc Antoine et Cléopâtre célèbrent les enivrantes Bacchanales & le poète Tibulle courtise avec fougue sa chère Délie à l’occasion des Saturnales… Valentin Tournet nous fait redécouvrir cette œuvre phare du Siècle des Lumières laissée bien trop longtemps dans l’ombre de ses fameux contemporains.

Les Fetes grecques et romaines, Colin de Blamont's first opera, was a resounding success from the moment it premiered in 1723. A synthesis between the nobility of the tragedie lyrique created by Lully and the more playful tone, with its choreographed divertissements, of the opera-ballet created by Campra, its libretto brings to life the best-known festivals of ancient History. The eloquent Alcibiades distinguishes himself at the Olympic Games, Mark Antony and Cleopatra celebrate the intoxicating Bacchanalia, and the poet Tibullus passionately courts his beloved Delia at the Saturnalia… Valentin Tournet helps us rediscover this masterpiece of the Age of Enlightenment, which for far too long has been overshadowed by its famous contemporaries.
