«The good song». This title, found by Verlaine for a collection of poetry, and borrowed by Fauré for a cycle of melodies, perfectly summarizes the spirit of the program proposed by the choir of the Opéra de Lille. The good song is the one that rocked us, the one that accompanied our evenings, our moments of celebration like melancholy…
French song has always had a strong link with the words it sets to music. Regardless of whether it is popular, traditional, or «classical», its emotional strength is universal, it is singing in the service of the text. What could be more direct and intimate than the voice? The voice sung of course, because the music brings «words» that even the most wonderful of poems can only partially render.
It is therefore a journey to the heart of this «good song» that we propose to you. In choir of course, but also in vocal quartet, and solo; with piano, but also by offering our multi-faceted artists to sing accompanied by their instruments!
The French melody called «classical» will of course be present but the journey will be marked by great hits of the French song «pop», traditional songs, «tubes» of the Renaissance, and modern discoveries.
