From June 10 to 15, 2025 “From Naples to Seville”
For its second edition, La belle Baroque festival takes you on a journey in the company of the orchestra Les Nouveaux Caractères. Soprano Caroline Mutel and conductor Sébastien d’Hérin will be your guides on this musical journey.
Discover the masterpieces of Baroque music, starting with Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, which will transport you to 18th-century Naples, a city full of religious fervor and dominated by the figure of the Sorrowful Virgin.
We’ll then take you to Seville, the beautiful Andalusian city, the setting for Mozart’s famous opera inspired by Beaumarchais’ masterpiece, The Marriage of Figaro, in a version full of surprises and up close to the audience.
From June 10 to 15, embark with us on a musical journey to the heart of Beaujolais !
Choosing to establish a Baroque festival in Beaujolais is a bold bet that takes place into a territory combining a
strong identity with genuine attractiveness, a region ready to be enriched by an event focusing on classical music,
still the poor relation of the cultural offer.
La belle Baroque, supported by the orchestra Les Nouveaux Caractères, brings a new dimension and ambition to
the heart of the Beaujolais region, thanks to a music that speaks to everyone’s sensibilities, whether a music lover
or a curious spectator. La belle Baroque aims to ultimately become a new beacon of Baroque music in the
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
We place 2025 under the sign of youth and women with the adaptation of a masterpiece from the lyrical repertoire,
The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart and Beaumarchais.
Caroline Mutel offers a reinterpretation designed for all places and all circumstances, changing the perspective by
sliding from a “Marriage of Figaro” to small “Wedding of Suzanne”.
This adventure allows us to invite young actor-singers from ENSATT to join the confirmed soloists and some
instrumentalists from the Nouveaux Caractères, all gathered around spoken scenes, famous arias and popular songs
with a revolutionary flavor.
Two weeks of rehearsal with the creation in May in focus, heightened with moments of mediation (high
schools, hospitals, choral workshops, amateur orchestra) with a very first participation in the Avignon
Festival.
