Baroque Weekend. Handel with William Christie and Les Arts Florissants

A perfect start to our Baroque Weekend – with one of the world’s leading early music ensembles. Les Arts Florissants has captivated audiences for over 45 years with its fresh and dynamic style. The secret? “No routine,” says founder and conductor William Christie. The programme focuses on vocal and instrumental music by George Frideric Handel, a master of melodic beauty. The evening’s centerpiece is the pastoral cantata Aminta e Fillide, in which a shepherd determinedly courts a reluctant nymph – an ideal context for expressive arias and duets.
