Our Take

Ah, Rameau: the OG of French Baroque bops. SOLOISTS, PURCELL CHOIR, ORFEO ORCHESTRA, and maestro GYORGY VASHEGYI come together to bring us Dardanus - Tragedie Lyrique, straight out of Paris in 1744.

From the moment those strings start vibrating, you're transported back to the 18th century, sipping champagne in a lavish French court. The Orfeo Orchestra's precision and finesse are on full display, guiding us through Rameau's intricate compositions with ease.

The Purcell Choir adds a heavenly touch to the proceedings, their harmonies soaring above the orchestral tapestry like angels descending from the heavens. Each soloist shines in their own right, bringing depth and emotion to the characters of this tragic opera.

Vashegyi's direction is masterful, balancing the grandeur of the music with the intimacy of the human drama at its core. The dynamics ebb and flow, creating a sense of tension and release that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Overall, Dardanus is a triumph of historical performance practice, breathing new life into a centuries-old masterpiece. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Rameau's music transport you to another time and place. Cheers to classical music done right.
