Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal de Versailles

During European Heritage Days, France’s most famous castle becomes the setting for a spectacular event where heritage, music, and contemporary art come together in an exceptional setting. From its most iconic locations to spaces that are usually overlooked, the castle is transformed into a living stage.

Soprano Julia Lezhneva and countertenor Franco Fagioli present an exceptional evening. The programme features arias and duets by the great masters of the Baroque: Purcell, Corelli, Handel, Graun and Porpora, Haydn and Farinelli's Italian master, but also Handel's great rival. Passionate arias, high-pitched vocalises, virtuosity and sonic exuberance: A real treat!
