Rameau 250th anniversary with Les Talens Lyriques

Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques will be celebrating Rameau's 250th anniversary in 2014 with a pair of appearances at the Wigmore Hall and the Barbican. Laura Scozzi's production of Rameau's Les Indes Galantes will not be transferring to London (you have to travel to Bordeaux to see it), but Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques and a cast including Carolyn Sampson will be giving a concert performance at the Barbican (6/3/2014). At the Wigmore Hall, Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques will be performing Rameau's Pices de clavecin en concerts and his cantata Orphee (30/3).

Further ahead, the group returns to the Wigmore Hall for a programme of Lecons de Tenebre by Charpentier and Couperin (16/4) and are joined by Ann Hallenberg in a programme of spectacular opera arias written for the castrato Farinelli (28/4)
