Amina Edris, a soprano with a silken timbre, and Pene Pati, a tenor whose voice is as powerful as it is warm, share far more than notes: a complicity that is evident from the very first chords.

With them, the Orchestre national Montpellier Occitanie and Samy Rachid lend every melody new colours, as if written to measure. On the programme?

A whirlwind of the most beautiful arias and duets by Berlioz, Verdi, Gounod, Bizet, Massenet and Puccini: 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 its full magic.
