After almost ten years of absence, one of the most renowned artists in the world for the interpretation of late Renaissance and Baroque music, Christophe Rousset, returns to the Monteverdi Festival. Together with his ensemble, Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset chooses to make us reflect on the magnificence of the Divine Caludio by comparing excerpts from L’Incoronazione di Poppea with some works by Francesco Cavalli as evidence that Monteverdi, with his unique and superlative musical language, managed to blend poetry, song and instrumental music in a perfect balance, at the service of the expression of affetti.
