Les Cris de Paris

Passion for Venice | 21 - 22 March 2025

Les Cris de Paris

Passion for Venice 
Between land and water, East and West, splendour and melancholy, spirituality and drama, lies Venice: the glorious purgatory between many worlds, where sparks of renewal unite continuously to create crackling flames. With works by Legrenzi, Marini, Gabrieli, Cavalli and Monteverdi, Les Cris de Paris colours the nightscape of the city where polychorality was born, where opera stepped straight out of nappies into a glittering gown and where audiences hung on the lips of the first stage performers.
