About Les Talens Lyriques
Championing a broad vocal and instrumental repertoire ranging from early Baroque to the beginnings of Romanticism, the musicians of Les Talens Lyriques aim to throw light on the great masterpieces of musical history, while providing perspective by presenting rarer or little-known works that are important as missing links in the European musical heritage. This musicological and editorial work, which contributes to their renown, is a priority for the ensemble.
Les Talens Lyriques takes their name from the subtitle of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s 1739 opera Les Fêtes d’Hébé. Their repertoire includes works by Monteverdi, Cavalli, Landi, Handel, Lully, Desmarest, Mondonville, Cimarosa, Traetta, Jommelli, Martin y Soler, Mozart, Salieri, Rameau, Gluck, Beethoven, Cherubini, García, Berlioz, Massenet, Gounod, Saint-Saëns and others.
Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques appear throughout Europe, with performances at the Opéra National de Paris, Opéra-Comique, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Philharmonie de Paris, Opéra Royal de Versailles, Dutch National Opera, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Lausanne Opéra, Teatro Real Madrid, Vienna State Opera, Theater an der Wien, Théâtre Royal de La Monnaie in Brussels, London’s Wigmore Hall and Barbican Centre, among others, as well as on tour elsewhere throughout the world.
