In counterpoint to the performances of Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande next November, the Dijon Opera Choir and its director Anass Ismat invite you to enter with music into one of the Parisian salons that at the turn of the century did so much to promote the new aesthetic. In these interiors, artfully decorated for the pleasures of conversation and exchange, would gather musicians, poets, painters and writers, known or soon to become famous, as well as academics and iconoclasts, from the rear- or avant-garde. At the Dijon Opera, you will discover notably Trois Chansons composed by Debussy for a capella choir in 1909 on medieval poems by Charles d’Orléans, or the songs that Ravel wrote six years later on his own texts. Tinted with a Renaissance atmosphere and rich in early musical turns, they testify to the nascent fascination that the older repertoire prompted in even the most modern musicians.
