Dans les Jardins de William Christie Festival

2025 Edition — William Christie's 80th Birthday

For its 14th edition, the festival paid tribute to its founder on the occasion of his 80th birthday. The opening featured a double program dedicated to Marc-Antoine Charpentier: the opera Les Arts florissants and La Descente d'Orphée aux Enfers, performed by the ten new laureates of Le Jardin des Voix. The program Harmonia sacra revealed 17th-century English spiritual arias by Purcell, Blow, and Locke. Afternoons in the gardens enchanted the audience with musical walks, workshops, and candlelit meditations.
