A great Century of Music
On stage with Charpentier’s “David et Jonathas”!
Created after Lully’s death, this opera marks a turning point in the genre, favoring expressive music. The madness of war and power, the massacre of innocents: the story of this work resonates painfully with current events.
After its first two dates at the Théâtre de Caen, Correspondances will now tour France and Luxembourg until the end of 2024. Discover the next dates!
New recording: La Messe de Minuit
Discover harmonia mundi’s new recording of the Messe de Minuit!
Marc-Antoine Charpentier is the French composer of the Grand Siècle who left the most works specifically linked to Christmas: beyond the famous Messe de Minuit, we’ll be all the more carried away by the “histoires sacrées” and other “Noëls pour les instruments” delivered here by their most fervent servants.
