About the Event
Les Arts has established close links with Handel’s operatic creations, always led by conductors who are experts in the Baroque repertoire. Following Orlando (López Banzo), Silla (Biondi), Partenope (Christie), Ariodante (Marcon) and Alcina (Minkowski), it is the turn of Tamerlano and the debut of the Belgian conductor René Jacobs, one of the key musicians of our time, with an international career in which he has made over 250 recordings as countertenor and conductor, many of them award‐winners. He conducts the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, an ensemble founded by Thomas Hengelbrock, and nurtured in historically informed practice. In the title role is the French countertenor Paul‐Antoine Bénos‐Djian, whom we already heard in Les Arts as Farnace in Mitridate conducted by Marc Minkowski. He is accompanied by the Scottish tenor Thomas Walker as Bajazet.
