Saul Oratorio in English in 3 acts, created on 16 th January 1739 at London King’s Theater. Libretto by .

CHOEUR DE CHAMBRE DE NAMUR & MILLENIUM ORCHESTRA Conductor : LEONARDO GARCIA ALARCON

Saul, Samuel Christian Immler, David Lawrence Zazzo, countertenor Jonathan Samuel Boden, Merab Katherine Watson, soprano Ruby Hughes, soprano

New production

> Saturday 6th July - 9 PM . Basilique Notre-Dame

This oratorio marks an important milestone in Handel’s personal history as well as the evolution of his musical language. He composed Saul right after the opera Serse in 1739. Handel was inspired by a text with well-rounded characters and dramatic effects to great powerful music. The story of Saul focuses on the first king of Israel's relationship with his successor, David as well as David’s relationship with Merab, and Michal, daughters of Saul but also Saul’s friendship with Jonathan and the war between Philistines and Hebrews. Remarkable arias are: David’s «Oh Lord, whose mercies numberless», Jonathan’s «Sin not, o King» or Merab’s vigorous aria «My soul rejects the thought». The most remarkable part of the oratorio is the intensely dramatic scene when Saul asks the to raise the ghost of Samuel the prophet in the powerful "Wretch that I am!".

We continue the Lully opera cycle with the conductor Christophe Rousset performing Isis, Lully’s 7th opera, in collaboration with Les Talents Lyriques. This masterpiece is rich with wonderful parts like « lament for Pan” in act 3 or the famous tremolos choir (which is said to have inspired the frost scene in Purcell’s King Arthur). Isis has a reputation for being a ‘musicians’ opera’. In this opera the principal character starts out as the nymph Io but ends up as the Egyptian goddess Isis. Her beauty has made her irresistible to Jupiter, and even though she prefers to remain faithful to her lugubrious lover Hierax she incurs the wrath of Jupiter’s wife Juno, who subjects her to various vindictive torments. The situation is resolved by an extraordinary reconciliation between Jupiter and Juno, in which they both pledge to change their ways and to reprieve Io by means of her transformation into Isis.

40 th anniversary of of Les Arts Florissants by William Christie.

> Saturday 13th July - 9 PM . Basilique Notre-Dame

Dixit Dominus is Handel’s most famous motet which he composed in Rome in 1707, at the age of 22. The pieces embody a kind of excitement and freedom, and a richness of ideas, which he takes over later in his English oratorios. You can hear him stretching his musical wings in this music, and it certainly doesn’t fail to take off in these very lively performances. Handel’s music is based on Gregorian melodies using the “plain chant” in cantus firmus like a Lutheran chorus. The work is divided into nine movements, scored for a five-part chorus and five soloists. Handel conveys the power of the assured, martial text through contrasts between movements as well as within each movement. The piece also contains numerous examples of word painting, where the sound of the music imitates the imagery of the text. In addition to the program we will hear Vivaldi’s Gloria RV 589. Vivaldi had the great chance to work with one of the best Venetian ensembles and he composed his sacred music for famous young girls of the Pietà.

New production

> Friday 19th July - 9 PM . Cour des Hospices* * In case of bad weather, the opera takes place in Basilique Notre-Dame

Serse is one of the few Handel operas to be considered an opera buffa since it includes comic elements. Persian King Xerxes and his brother Arsamene are both in love with Romilda. Romilda being in love with Arsamene, Xerxes banishes him. Romilda’s sister, Atalanta, also in love with Arsamene, hatches a plot for Romilda to become Xexes wife. Finally, with Ariodate marrying Arsamene and Romilda the opera has a happy ending. The amazing opening aria "" is said to be one of Handel’s most famous, also known as larghetto. Followed by a series of arias and arioso considered among the best in the world of opera: arioso of Romilda, arioso of Romilda and Xerxes in Act II, aria "Che cede al furore" of Romilda at the end of Act II, aria of Xexes "Crude furie degl'orridi abissi" in Act III and the long arioso of Atalanta "Voi mi dite". Serse is considered several times to be a Mozart like opera by the famous Handel musicologist with Romilda reminding Konstanze from The Abduction from the Seraglio and Atalanta reminding from The Marriage of Figaro.

After last Summer’s success with “Il Barbiere di Siviglia”, the famous conductor Jérémie Rorer together with his orchestra will give the famous Symphony No. 9 on period instruments. This universal masterpiece, Beethoven’s last symphony, was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony. The words; taken from the "Ode to Joy", a poem written by Friedrich Schiller, have today become the world symbol of peace between the nations and the people. Jérémie Rhorer and his orchestra “Le Cercle de l’Harmonie” will without doubt reach our hearts and souls.

After Raphaël Pichon, we have the pleasure to welcome the young and talented conductor Valentin Tournet, aged 22, and his ensembles of La Chapelle Harmonique as conductor in residence. As first opera he will conduct Les Indes Galantes composed by famous Burgundian composer Rameau. We have chosen the 1761 version of Rameau’s opéra-ballet: with prologue and three entrées The Generous Turk, The Incas of Peru and The Savages. The Generous Turk is associated with water and a storm at sea, The Incas of Peru with Earth and volcanic eruption and The Savages with dancing. From every point of view that matters, this is a special Ramellian achievement.

> Saturday 27 th July - 9 PM . Cour des Hospices* * In case of bad weather, the opera takes place in Basilique Notre-Dame

At their first performance in Beaune in 1993, Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort and Players triumphed with Purcell's masterpiece The Fairy Queen. The Fairy Queen was Purcell's biggest success during his lifetime. It is a semi- opera with spoken dialogue and musical passages including arias, dance performances, instrumental interludes and masques. The libretto is a free adaptation of Shakespeare's play “A Midsummer Night's Dream”. It interweaves and subsequently resolves three love intrigues: one between Titania, Queen of the Fairies, and her husband Oberon; one involving two couples of young Athenian lovers (Lysander, Helena, Demetrius and Hermia) and the comic play-within- a-play of the tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe. The magical element plays a key role in the opera. The fairies introduce all the musical scenes. Purcell’s work is almost a musical with truly enchanting passages, in particular the figures of Night, Mystery, Secrecy and Sleep, and the Dance for the Followers of Night in Act II; the madness of Titania who falls in love with a donkey, and the famous aria "If Love's a Sweet Passion"; the lavish ceremony with trumpets and timpani in the opening of Act IV; Juno, the goddess of marriage's aria "Thrice happy lovers" and the dazzling series of solos and choruses for the Chinese men and women in Act V.

King Arthur is a good example of English opera at this time, even more than Fairy Queen, a dramatic opera with a scene music that differs from action. King Arthur is Purcell’s most popular opera filled with enchantments and magic. It contains some of Purcell's most lyrical music, i.e. “Cold Genius” in Act 3 inspired by Lully’s Isis or “Fairest isle”, a stunning tribute to the isle of Brittany. There is no knights of the round table, no Guenievre; no Lancelot, but a tale centered on King Arthur’s endeavors to build a united kingdom and recover his fianceé from Oswald and his wizard Osmond.

ENSEMBLE LE BANQUET CÉLESTE Countertenor & Conductor : DAMIEN GUILLON

> Sunday 14 th July - 9 PM . Basilique Notre-Dame

We have the pleasure to welcome again Damien Guillon in a tempting program dedicated to Purcell’s (and Dowland’s) remarkable arias and songs like If Music be the food of Love, Strike the Viol, Here the Deities approve or Music for a while. Music for a while is a song for voice and basso continuo, where the voice is accompanied by an instrumental part featuring an ascending ground bass. Additional harmonies are supplied by the musicians playing continuo. A century stands between Dowland and Purcell, but the musical influence is obvious. Dowland (1563-1626) expresses amorous passion with sweetness and intimacy, whereas they are more extraverted and theatrical with Purcell (1659-1695), announcing the Handel opera style. A strong musical and stylistic relation between both composers in masterpieces like Dowland’s « Flow my tears » and Purcell’s « Music for a while » is obvious.

After last Summer’s success with Handel’s opera Rodrigo, the Romanian soprano Ana Maria Labin will be in Beaune again. She is going to perform some of Mozart’s great opera arias like: Donna Anna (), Contessa (Nozze di Figaro), Fiordiligi (Cosi), Arminda (Finta Giardiniera), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), Elettra (Idomeneo)… With her performance in Handel’s Rodrigo, Ana Maria Labin earned critical praise, e.g. from Jean-Philippe Grosperin of Diapason magazine: “Her art of controlling and imaging the voice of Esilena is naturally confusing. Her instrumental knowledge never drains the complete noble humanity of the character. « Per dar pregio” is the emblem of its constancy. The variety of the appoggiaturas, the tireless coloration of this radiant voice, the ability to held together majesty, vehemence and vulnerability, the depth of thoughts, together with the face and gestures make it unforgettable. Great artist and special evening, that honor a festival”
