Avignon
Armida abbandonata
Sunday 14 December 2025 from 5 pm.
Event in Avignon :
In the tradition of the great magicians defeated by love, Armide, like Alcina or Circe, has inspired many composers.
This program is a musical journey through Lully, Vivaldi, Haydn and above all Handel, all of whom have depicted with passion and delicacy a woman torn between passion and power, and ultimately abandoned and scorned by a hero who prefers glory.
Handel's great cantata Armida abbandonata stands out from the rest, a veritable opera in miniature in which the heroine gives free rein to her excess and madness.
