Dresdner Musikfestspiele: Lea Desandre & Thomas Dunford

About the Event

An enthralling showcase of French love songs that traverse three centuries, elegantly presented by Lea Desandre and Thomas Dunford. Famous for their deep understanding of love in all its forms—be it joy, jealousy, or intense passion—the French truly excel. Both exceptional in their craft, mezzo‐soprano Lea Desandre and lutenist Thomas Dunford navigate the richly emotional territory of three hundred years of French music, centered on the globally resonant theme of love. Recently crowned “Singer of the Year” by “OPUS Klassik,” Desandre shines as the latest sensation in the world of opera, captivating audiences with her crisp and expressive singing. Teaming up with Thomas Dunford, lauded as the “Eric Clapton of the lute” and her partner off‐stage, she creates a formidable musical duo. Set against the picturesque palace in the Great Garden, their performance delves into the complex spectrum of love, promising a night filled with stirring emotions.
