Once upon a time... the "recitar cantando" - Les Talens Lyriques
France / Paris
Partnership between Les Talens Lyriques & the École Normale de Musique de Paris
The École Normale de Musique de Paris and Les Talens Lyriques are launching a new partnership starting with the 2025/2026 season, featuring a series of four Saturday events at the Salle Cortot in Paris. The second concert of the series will take place on Saturday, November 8, at the Salle Cortot, and will be devoted to the “Recitar cantando”. This early Baroque practice, literally “to recite while singing”, lies at the heart of Italian vocal expression at the turn of the 17th century. Blending speech and song, it gave rise to opera and profoundly influenced the relationship between text and music in later vocal art.
Each event consists of a public masterclass led by Christophe Rousset with the singing students of the École Normale, followed by a one-hour commented concert with Les Talens Lyriques. Christophe Rousset will guide the audience through each program, highlighting a particular feature or concept related to the repertoire.
These concerts, entitled “Once Upon a Time…”, are open to all audiences and aim to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the works performed.
