« Ailleurs Au Féminin » - Concert lyrique flûte-chant-piano et récit

As part of the 26th ‘Les nuits d’Orient et d’Ailleurs’ festival in 2026 in Dijon, ClairObscur-Lyrique presents ‘Ailleurs Au Féminin’ – an operatic concert featuring flute, vocals, piano and narration. “Ailleurs Au Féminin” offers a female perspective, exploring how female composers, as opposed to their male counterparts, have depicted an imaginary and fantastical Orient. It explores how the musical inspiration of female and male composers has elevated the same texts – those of Western writers who describe a magnificent, mysterious Orient, that great land of dreams and poetry, where they imagine scenes imbued with colours and scents. It is the music of women and men, each shedding a different light on the poetry of Théophile Gautier and Victor Hugo, born of their vision of the Orient. A tea room serving Oriental sweets will be hosted by Grésilles Nouveau Souffle on Saturday 22 November. The Lumière d’Orient association and its ‘enchanted palace’ will accompany our journey ‘Ailleurs’ on Sunday 7 December. Sylvie MONOT, mezzo-soprano opera soloist and storyteller Mathilde GROFFIER, flautist Caroline SCHMID, composer and pianist PRACTICAL INFORMATION Saturday 28 November at 8.00 pm Sunday 29 November at 3.00 pm La Coupole – 1 Rue Saint-Anne and Rue Victor Dumay – 21000 Dijon No booking required Free entry and voluntary donations ACCESS: City (Parking Sainte-Anne stop) Vélodi (Place des Cordeliers station) Website: https://www.clairobscur-lyrique.fr Email address: clairobscur.lyrique@free.fr Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007020618056 My YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuqYoNuXsjyfYKhibc2Qx4g Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clairobscurlyrique Subscribe to the mailing list: https://www.clairobscur-lyrique.fr/contactbis/
