Program notes
Re-established in 2015, Le concert de la loge (originally named Le concert de la loge Olympique) was first founded in 1783 by the Comte D’Ogny and is considered to be one of Europe’s finest period ensembles. From commissioning the Paris symphonies by Haydn to performing repertoire from the early 20th century, this orchestra maintains a busy touring and recording schedule calling them to the four corners of the world.
This concert, titled Il teatro, is centered around the composer Antonio Vivaldi and features some of the composer’s most thrilling instrumental works and sparkling arias. Led by Julien Chauvin, the orchestra performs, together with the coloratura soprano Emőke Baráth, Vivaldi’s most dramatic concertos and demanding operatic arias in an innovative programme designed to recreate the spontaneity of the 18th century soirée.
