Presentation

Bruno de Sá, the sopranist of a thousand lights, sings Mozart, Cherubini and Cimarosa like a Baroque tightrope walker.

Hearing his supple, airy voice is always an event! On the occasion of the release of his latest album, Bruno de Sá shares with us arias of contagious enthusiasm, gliding from the last fires of the Baroque to the dawn of the Classical period. He delights us with Mozart's Exsultate Jubilate, presented here in its Salzburg version, rarely performed in concert. The young Wolfgang rewrote this motet in 1779 and gave it unprecedented vivacity. It culminates in the final movement, a real tour de force for the singer, who has to vocalise brilliantly on the single word hallelujah.

After a triumph alongside Nicolò Balducci and Théo Imart last season in the recital Les Trois Contre-Ténors and the castrato virtuosity competition, the Brazilian virtuoso is back in all his splendour at the Opéra Royal!
