The realm of dreams and the fantastic, a unique concert
Lyrical evening Füssli at the Jacquemart-André Museum with private visit
14 January 2023
The spectacular exhibition Füssli, the realm of dreams and the fantastic, which has been on display at the Musée Jacquemart-André since the autumn of 2022, will also be performed in concert.
A programme of French and German opera arias and melodies specially constructed by Hugues Rameau-Crays in collaboration with Katia Weimann and the artists awaits you for a unique evening.
A fantastic concert
The incredible world of the artist of the imaginary and the sublime was inspired by Shakespearean subjects with representations of dreams, nightmares and apparitions, themes that can be found in operas and many romantic melodies.
A unique programme
Juliet’s Dream, Gounod‘s and Berlioz‘s nightmarish Faust and Offenbach‘s Les Contes d’Hoffmann are all part of the same aesthetic of dream and fantasy, where the spectre of the rose haunts the dream of Bellini‘s La Sonnambula, where a danse macabre (Saint-Saëns) announces the end of Debussy‘s Nuit d’étoiles..)…

Talented artists
Soprano
The soprano Armelle Khourdoïan has already sung at La Scala in Milan, at the Palais Garnier or during the Chorégies d’Orange with partners such as Ruggero Raimondi or Charles Aznavour.
Christophe Poncet de Solages
Tenor
Christophe Poncet de Solages’ repertoires are as vast as his practice of foreign languages. Equally at ease in English, Spanish, Italian, German or Russian, the French tenor has a very successful international career.
Marc Souchet
Baritone
Thanks to his powerful and warm voice, Marc Souchet has performed many roles by Verdi and Puccini. The baritone does not neglect French composers either in opera or in concert, and also in creation.
Piano
Katia Weimann started playing the piano at the age of 6. An outstanding accompanist, she is a laureate of the Royaumont Foundation and as pianist-choirmaster of the Maîtrise Populaire de l’Opéra Comique, she has taken part in numerous productions.
