About

An evening with musicAeterna and Teodor Currentzis will gather the music of Jean-Philippe Rameau from several operas into one rich program. Here, the brilliance of French Baroque, the large choral sound, and the rare stage energy are important, which is born even without a full production, when the orchestra, choir, and voices lead the listener through the world of 18th-century theater. The evening is built around the music of Jean-Philippe Rameau - a composer whose operas rarely appear in the Russian program in such volume and with such a performing ensemble. The program is assembled from vocal and orchestral numbers from several works: "The Galant Indians", "Castor and Pollux", "Festivities of Hebe, or Lyric Gifts", "Platée, or The Jealous Juno", "Zaïs", "Zoroastre", and "Boreades". This format allows us to see Rameau not just as the author of one famous title, but as a master of musical theater with a vast range of colors, characters, and moods. For the listener, this is especially valuable because the music of the French Baroque requires precision, flexibility, and a sense of style. The dance impulse, the elegance of orchestral texture, the clarity of the vocal line, and the constant feeling of movement are important. Even individual fragments from the operas can come together to create a cohesive impression: behind the impressive numbers, one can hear both the drama of the scene and the decorative richness, as well as the subtle work with timbre. Such a concert will be interesting to those who love academic music not only as a purely symphonic expression but also as theater expressed through sound. On stage will be the orchestra and choir of musicAeterna under the direction of Teodor Currentzis, as well as artists from the Anton Rubinstein Academy. For such a program, this is a particularly important ensemble: discipline, sensitivity to Baroque style, flexibility of choral sound, and the ability to maintain a high level of tension throughout the evening are required. In such a performance, Rameau's music unfolds brightly, vividly, and with many details that are difficult to capture in a recording.
