A wonderful Tosca at the Choregies d’Orange

A wonderful evening with the Tosca of Puccini, at the Chorégies d’Orange

A great interpretation of Puccini’s opera with Catherine Naglestad as Tosca, who after a fairly average first act, overturned the 9000 spectators in acts II and III. Robert Alagna, equal to himself, has found back his voice in spite of a severe Mistral. The barython Falk Struckmann in the role of Scarpia left me somewhat on my hunger.

The staging by Nadine Duffaut was remarkable, despite the difficulty of adapting to the scene of the ancient theatre.

Undoubtedly, the star of the evening was the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France, conducted by the talented Finnish conductor, Mikko Franck.

Andantino, partner of the festival “Musiques au coeur” for a tribute to the Italian Opera

For this 22th festival “Musiques au coeur” of Antibes, our association Andantino invited its members and their guests for a vibrant tribute to the Italian Opera in the Villa Eilenroc, a place now legendary.

On this Wednesday 7th July, the program was of an exceptional quality with the Barber of Seville by Gioacchino Rossini. It was the opportunity to discover new talents, Evgueniy Alexiev in Figaro, or Laura Baert for the first time in Rosine. These artists were of course accompanied by the Orchestre Regional de Cannes PACA.

 The mistress of ceremonies, Eve Ruggieri, has once again offered an exceptional program, that spotlights young talents.

Great success for the concert with choir organised by Andantino on Friday 18th June at the church Notre Dame de l’Esperance du Suquet, in Cannes

Afert the concert in Marseilles which gathered 350 people, the church of Notre Dame de l’Esperance in Le Suquet seemed almost too small for the 500 people gathered at the concert with entreprise choir this last Friday 18th June.

The Orchestre Regional de Cannes Provence Alpes Cote d’Azur and the choir of the employees of member companies of  Andantino, performed two artworks of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdi and the Te Deum of Haydn, in which the soprano Bénédicte Roussenq has been wonderful.
The chorus members, all amateurs, have perfectly performed these particularly difficult artworks thanks to the talent of Jean-Pierre Gregoire,choirmaster  and Philippe Bender, conductor.

A very nice evening organised by Andantino!

On the 1st of June, the association Andantino has welcomed its members in the stronghold of Villeneuve-Loubet to celebrate the 472nd anniversary of the signing of the Treve de Nice between François I and Charles V.

We enjoyed a tour of the stronghold, commented by our talented guide, Gilles Abitbol, followed by an unforgettable musical moment around the double-bass with artworks by Gioacchino Rossini. Three sonatas were brilliantly performed by soloists of the Orchestre Regional de Cannes Provence Alpes Cote d’Azur, Georges Thiery, double-bass, Audrey Derruau, cello, Matei Ioan and Matthew Dutka, violins.
