Les promenades musicales du Pays d'Auge 32e édition : Le Coup de Majesté

Here we are, with a touch of imagination and the magic of Victoire Bunel's voice, transported from the Château de Canon to the Palais du Louvre. A living royal palace, where music mingles with everyday Parisian life. Before the Sun rises in Versailles, this is where power, celebration and music merge. Drinking tunes rose from the kitchens, bourrées and tambourines were played on the palace steps The court was enchanted by the viola da gamba and seduced by Italian comedies. Soon, the "total show" of opera from Italy was transformed into a sumptuous French "opera machine". "lyrical machine" in the French style. A programme very much in the style of Le Poème Harmonique, where the chic refinement of the air de cour et de cœur is never far from the folk ardour of popular folk songs and laments.
