Sù !

Sù! Can a concert be spectacular? , whose staging literally gives height to the musical performance. Somewhere between lightness and gravity, the vocal ensemble pays the most harmonious tribute to Monteverdi: a moment ... suspended!

The first sung word of this show, dedicated to the repertoire of Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), Sù! means, in Italian, 'go' but also 'up, above', like a call to elevation, to momentum.
