28TH APRIL & 30TH APRIL, 2022 DE SINGEL, ANTWERP & ATELIER LYRIQUE DE TOURCOING
Gwendoline Blondeel performs the role of Céphie/Cénide in this star-studded line-up.
Conductor Alexis Kossenko is an ardent fan of the composer and of musicological research in general. Drawing on editorial input from Société Jean-Philippe Rameau and the expertise of the Centre de Musique Baroque, Versailles, he has produced a historically informed version of Zoroastre, respecting the number of performers, stage arrangement, performance style and method of interpretation.
Catch the fantastic Gwendoline this week at De Singel, Antwerp and The Atelier Lyrique de Tourcoing.
