Shadows of the Night
A journey through different facets of the night in music by Vivaldi, Hotteterre and Lully.
After cheerful evening festivities on the Seine, the last glimpse of daylight vanishes and the nightingale starts to sing. Heavy sleep comes, but be on the watch: madness and restlessness will quickly conjure up nightmares, spirits and ghosts and peaceful tranquillity turns into horror and dread.
