Programme
Overview
Les Arts Florissants returns under William Christie and Paul Agnew to ignite Monteverdi’s revolutionary soundworld. From the fierce clash of Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda to the tender whispers of Tirsi e Clori, this is an evening of vivid contrasts and pure emotion.Join Les Arts Florissants for an unforgettable tribute to Claudio Monteverdi, led by founder-director William Christie and co-director Paul Agnew. The programme opens with Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, a gripping madrigal drama where two lovers duel in intertwining recitatives and stark harmonic shifts that heighten every heartbeat. In the second half, Tirsi e Clori unfolds as a series of pastoral madrigals awash in luminous textures and sensuous chromatic turns, evoking an intimate dialogue between human longing and nature’s embrace. Drawing on decades of interpretative mastery, the ensemble illuminates Monteverdi’s secular works with remarkable clarity, balancing raw intensity and refined elegance. Prepare to be swept away by an evening where speech and song merge, light and shadow converse, and Monteverdi’s timeless genius shines in all its emotional power.
