Mathieu Herzog et Appassionato - Extraits en version de concertsamedi 15 avril 2023 - 18:00 : https://www.laseinemusicale.com/spectacles-concerts/vous-trouve...

The conductor Mathieu Herzog, with his orchestra Appassionato, makes you discover the emotions of the classical with educational concerts at the Auditorium of La Seine Musicale and gives you the keys to understanding the intention of the composers and grasping the secrets of the great classical works.

La Traviata  is one of the most acclaimed operas in the repertoire, and for good reason, all of its arias are unforgettable. Its composer  Giuseppe Verdi , brilliant inventor of melodies, chose a contemporary subject taken from a French novel,  La Dame aux Camélias . And to treat the realism of this thwarted love story as it should, he wanted sets that were also realistic. A will that was initially censured because it ran counter to the well-meaning morals of the good society that frequented the opera, but which ended up being accepted, the work quickly gaining the esteem of the public and incontestably asserting itself as a huge success. But what does Verdi say in his opera?

Violetta  and  Alfredo  fall in love. Not belonging to the same world, Violetta is only a courtesan, this idyll displeases Alfredo's father and trouble begins... In short,  La Traviata  - in French, the misguided - is a bit like the  Pretty Woman  of the 19th century, tragedy to boot. Each aria of this opera is a distillation of passion, powerfully irrepressible in the first act, triumphant in the second, more fragile and wavering in the last. The role of Violetta is a challenge for the soprano who must embody all these nuances of love, a palette already contained in the marvelous orchestral prelude of the work.

Only opera can describe and make feel emotions so faithfully, from their dizzying excesses to the most tenuous delicacy of regrets. No one can resist Violetta. Don't try, Verdi's score is so perfect that you won't be able to resist it either! From the scandal to the success of  one of the most beautiful Italian operas in history, Mathieu Herzog  embarks on a whirlwind of hits. And you, what tune will you keep on your lips after the concert?
