Les Noces Royales de Louis XIV
Sealing the peace of a kingdom was Louis XIV’s act of love. By marrying the Infanta Maria Theresa, daughter of the King of Spain, in June 1660, the young Louis XIV brought peace to his kingdom and put an end to a long war between Spain and France. To ensure that the Parnassus of love resounded with tones of joy, the greatest festivities were held in honour of her Majesty during Louis XIV’s journey and on his return to Paris. Based on preserved accounts of these celebrations, from Saint-Jean-de-Luz to Versailles, this programme recreates the musical works that accompanied them.
12-13 JULY

Festival d'Autan
The depth of the sacred in the acoustics of an iconic church.
The power of sacred works transcends the walls of the Sapiac church. Sacred sorrow and celestial beauty unite harmoniously in this program of Baroque resonance. The exceptional voices of Evgeniya Selina and Victoire Bunel soar, weep and console, offering all the emotional power of Pergolesi’s masterpiece. Durante’s concerto and Geminiani’s “Follia” complete this spiritual tableau, adding their vibrant accents to the sacred atmosphere.
26 AUGUST
Festival Berlioz, Cour du Château Louis XI
La jeune fille et la mort
… At the heart of this program are four Berlioz melodies performed by mezzo-soprano Victoire Bunel: La Belle voyageuse, from the collection of Neuf mélodies irlandaises; Zaïde, a character piece with obligatory castanets, borrowed from the Boléro; La Captive from Victor Hugo’s collection Les Orientales; and La Mort d’Ophélie, a ballad based on a poem by Ernest Legouvé after Act IV of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
