« The bright voices of the singers give life with fervour to the small stage of the belief, sometimes naive and extremely poetic. In communion with to the angels and the shepherds, the ensemble worries, meditates, exults. » Télérama • November 2016At the Royal Chapel of Versailles, the ensemble will be playing for the first time a new program dedicated to the Grands Motets composed by Michel-Richard de Lalande, on Sunday, December 8, 2019 at 4.00 pm.

“The director of the Ensemble Correspondances and the choreographer Francesca Lattuada embarked on a breathtaking journey to French and Italian music, after a night of dreams we would have liked to never wake up from. For, with these 117 costumes, each more dreamlike and spectacular than the other, for characters whose successive entrances are constantly intertwined or juxtaposed, this royal ballet is an ode to wonder.” Le Figaro • September 2019
