About
"Judith van Wanroij is a spectacular find."
--David Shengold, Opera News
Opera Lafayette presents a recital with orchestra featuring the brilliant young Dutch soprano Judith van Wanroij. She sings La Muse de l'Opéra by Clérambault, a virtuoso miniature which calls forth in quick succession the many contrasting moods and natural phenomena of classic French lyric tragedy--fanfare, hunt, pastorale, tempest, birdsong, enchanted sleep, and the infernal. She and the Opera Lafayette then alternate several magnificent airs, including Télaïre's ‘Tristes apprêts' from Rameau's Castor et Pollux, with the composer's vivacious and imaginative dances from this and other operas.
Sung in French with English supertitles.
Performance Timing: Part One - 30 min.; Intermission - 15 min.; Part Two - 40 min.
