Programmation

In 1736, a recluse in the monastery of Pozzuoli and in the evening of his life, Pergolesi embarked on his last composition. The man who was about to succumb to tuberculosis at the age of 26 set to music the sufferings of the Virgin, resulting in what would become his most famous work. Magnificent last year in Dido and Aeneas, Vincent Dumestre and the Poème Harmonique return this year, accompanied by the splendid Hasnaa Bennani and Marine Chagnon, in a programme that will take you on a journey to eighteenth-century Naples.
