Love, the fundamental archetype of Humanity, with its emotions, desires, fears and fantasies has always been one of the cherished objects of art and of opera in particular. Its many facets are at the origin of the most exceptional masterpieces of the repertoire.

Two Richards are on the program! The Richard Wagner of Lohengrin and Tristan und Isolde which opens the doors of sublime love to us, the one which, by summoning the great medieval tales, is declined with a capital "A". Richard Strauss of Salomé , deadly, bloody and blind, from one of the most terrible stories of the Gospels of Matthew and Mark and which contrasts dizzily with his final Vier letzte Lieder. A sublime testament, these four melodies decline the seasons of love as metaphors of time, melancholic and peaceful. It is these multiple absolutely overwhelming facets that Caroline Wenborne and Alex Penda, under the inspired baton of Maestro Speranza Scappucci, offer us in this exceptional recital which gives pride of place to the unmissable German Romantics.
