La Néréide

At the opulent Renaissance court of Duke Alfonso II d'Este of Ferrara, Il concerto segreto was considered an absolute showpiece. Not for public pomp but for exclusive private pleasure, three exceptional sopranos sang their way into history as concerto delle donne. Their virtuoso art inspired court composer Luzzasco Luzzaschi to create madrigals of unprecedented expressive depth. La Néréide interweaves the most beautiful madrigals with works by contemporaries such as Francesca Caccini and Claudio Monteverdi to make a delicate lacework of voices.

About the performers

La Néréide, founded in 2019 by sopranos Camille Allérat, Julie Roset, and Ana Vieira Leite, named their ensemble after the mythical water nymphs, the Néréides. The singular form was chosen to emphasize their unity. Their debut album Luzzaschi: Il Concerto Segreto (2023) received high praise, with Gramophone calling it ‘superb,’ and it was nominated for the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.
