Fuoco Obbligato – Tête-à-tête #2

➜ Saturday, July 17, 2021 at the Commanderie de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines - 8pm - Festival OuVERTures

[Duration: about 45 minutes]

In this program of musical dialogues, we find a colorful baroque tapestry in which birds and beasts come to life, in which pearls of joy coexist with devastating tears, in which loving gazes are renounced, and a lonely echo consoles the unhappy heart. 

The arias each present a different conversation between singer and instrumentalist - they listen to each other, they sometimes tease, imitate, even motivate each other - yet all dialogues illustrate the full gamut of emotions evoked by the texts. Whether complementary or conflicting, the two “voices” allow both the composer and listener to explore the subtleties and inflections of the subtext, of the unspoken feelings that accompany the turbulent and complex terrain of love. 

The nightingale, always last to sing in the evening, draws the curtain on this program of obbligato arias with a playful dance movement, "Pour le Rossignol" from an overture by Johann Joseph Fux.
