Vivaldi/GUIDO - The Seasons

Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal
Stefan Plewniak, violin and conductor

Malandain Ballet Biarritz
Thierry Malandain, choreography

On the one hand, the despair of humanity facing the irrevocable fading of the seasons, on the other, the sublime eternity of nature’s renewal... These are the two worlds developed by Thierry Malandain in Les Saisons, a ballet interweaving The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi and The Four Seasons of the Year by Giovanni Antonio Guido. The Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal, under the direction of Stefan Plewniak, delivers a nuanced interpretation of these well-known arias, freshly accompanying the dancers of Malandain Ballet Biarritz.

Performance recorded on December 15th 2023, at the Royal Opera of the Château de Versailles by Les Films Figures Libres, with the participation of Mezzo and medici.tv
