With the Festival Chorus

10th Anniversary Gala

This evening’s anniversary concert is a celebration of the major works which have been performed here on Belle-île during these past 10 festival seasons. We will hear extracts from the four great Mozart operas, Don Giovanni (performed in 2006), Les Noces de Figaro (2001 and 2005), La Flûte Enchantée (2004) and Così fan tutte (2003), as well as from Bizet’s Carmen (2004), Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice (2005) and Verdi’s Falstaff (2006).

The diversity of the Lyrique en Mer’s repertoire is represented in works as different as Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas (2002) and Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle (2001).

Other popular works performed over these past ten seasons have included Verdi’s Rigoletto (2002) and Puccini’s La Bohème (2003), and going back to the very early days of the festival, excerpts of Rossini’s The Barber of Seville (1998) and Donizetti’s Don Pasquale (1998).

The Festival Choir will remind us of some of the highlights of the Musique Sacrée concerts, singing the opening of Vivaldi’s Gloria (2005) and the great Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah (2004).

Cocktail concert

These cocktail concerts are a great Lyrique-en-mer tradition and attract many regulars. Our artists perform extracts from the summer's repertoire, as well as a few arias of their own. At the end of the concert, audience members are offered a glass of bubbly and the opportunity to chat with Festival artists.
