In a few words

For this evening, the stage promises to sparkle. Amina Edris, a soprano with a silky timbre, and Pene Pati, a tenor with a voice as powerful as it is warm, share much more than just notes: a complicity that can be sensed from the very first chords. With them, the Orchestre national Montpellier Occitanie and Samy Rachid imbue each melody with new colours, as if custom-written. On the programme? A whirlwind of the most beautiful arias and duets by Berlioz, Verdi, Gounod, Bizet, Massenet and Puccini — these pieces that speak of love, passion and destiny, and which will take on a particular resonance. As if the repertoire had been waiting for this duo to reveal all its magic.
