  • Brochure De La Saison 2021-2022
    Les Talens Lyriques Les Talens Lyriques ont 30 ans ! ui, nous célébrerons cet anniversaire coûte que coûte. O Quelle longévité ! Je ne l’aurais moi-même jamais espé- rée. Comment m’imaginer diriger tant d’opéras, italiens et français, comment imaginer Les Talens à l’opéra de Sydney, de Versailles ou de Drottningholm, comment aurais-je pu me voir diriger du Berlioz, du Verdi, du Gounod ? Ma grande satisfaction est d’avoir tenu ma ligne entre la France et l’Italie, d’avoir pu éviter l’effet pour l’effet, d’avoir pris des risques avec les trompettistes mais aussi les cornistes et autres aventuriers du baroque pour retrouver les techniques et les sonorités « justes ». Je ne rougis d’aucune eau dans le vin que je respecte trop pour l’édulcorer. Cette saison marquera aussi nos 15 ans d’actions pédagogiques dans les écoles et les collèges. Aujourd’hui, les partenariats se transforment et se multiplient, de nou- veaux projets se développent dans ce souci de transmis- sion qui m’est si cher. Bien sûr, tous ces accomplissements ne seraient pos- sibles sans l’aide de nos partenaires qui nous soutiennent fidèlement depuis de nombreuses années. Sans eux, Les Talens Lyriques n’auraient pu mener à bien tous ces beaux projets. Qu’ils en soient ici très chaleureusement remerciés. Et merci à vous cher public pour votre présence pas- sionnée à nos côtés depuis toutes ces années. Vous me manquez, et j’ai hâte de vous retrouver ! Et maintenant : que la fête commence ! Cette saison justement rassemble ce qui est le cœur de notre vocation : 3 beaucoup d’opéras, surtout méconnus ; de la musique de chambre (car le claveciniste que je suis tient à rester aussi chambriste) ; des récitals de jeunes chanteurs (car découvrir de nouveaux talents est aussi notre marque de fabrique) ; et des incursions dans le romantisme.

  • Gioachino Rossini
    MATILDE DI SHABRAN GIOACHINO ROSSINI Olga Peretyatko Juan Diego Flórez Paolo Bordogna Anna Goryachova Nicola Alaimo Michele Mariotti Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna GIOACHINO ROSSINI MATILDE DI SHABRAN Conductor Michele Mariotti “There truly is a Rossini miracle!” (Deutschlandradio). Acclaiming Orchestra Orchestra del Teatro the mastery of tenorissimo Juan Diego Flórez and the breathtaking Comunale di Bologna young soprano Olga Peretyatko in the lead roles, the press hailed Chorus Coro del Teatro Comunale di Bologna the premiere of Rossini’s Matilde di Shabran at the Rossini Opera Chorus Master Lorenzo Fratini Festival in Pesaro as the “high point of the festival” (the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel). Matilde di Shabran Olga Peretyatko Matilde di Shabran was given its world premiere performance in Edoardo Anna Goryachova Rome in 1821. A genuine international hit, it was staged in Vienna, Raimondo Lopez Marco Filippo Romano London, Paris, New York and throughout Italy all before 1830. The Corradino Juan Diego Flórez music of Rossini’s last “opera semiseria” – thus half serious and half Ginardo Simon Orfila comic – contains a succession of beguiling ensemble pieces. The plot Aliprando Nicola Alaimo revolves around the knight Corradino, who has withdrawn to his castle Isidoro Paolo Bordogna and professes to hate his fellow humans. When he meets Matilde di Contessa d’Arco Chiara Chialli Shabran, however, he experiences unknown emotions that have Egoldo Giorgio Misseri nothing to do with hatred... Rodrigo Luca Visani Leading the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, conductor Staged by Mario Martone Michele Mariotti commands an ideal ensemble of singers: while Juan Diego Flórez, “perhaps the best Rossini tenor of our time” Video Director Tiziano Mancini (Deutschlandradio), sings the role of Corradino, that of Matilde is “gorgeously sung by Olga Peretyatko” (The New York Times).
