Les Arts Florissants; William Christie director, harpsichord, organ ; Paul Agnew director, tenor

Les Arts Florissants returns with its inspirational founder-director William Christie and co-director Paul Agnew to celebrate the work of a true musical revolutionary. Claudio Monteverdi’s expressive art, honed to perfection in his secular madrigals, trains the spotlight on intense emotions and vivid contrasts, qualities explored and absorbed by Les Arts Florissants over long years of experience. This evening’s programme includes the compelling drama of Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda and heart-melting Tirsi e Clori.
