THE SPIRITUAL CONCERT
HERVÉ NIQUET
JEAN-PHILIPPE DESROUSSEAUX
Music, gossip and a royal feast at Versailles! With his trademark sense of humor, Hervé Niquet resurrects the preparations for Louis XIV?s sumptuous dinners in a show that combines brilliant music, theater, juicy anecdotes? and a few of his secret stage surprises!
Every evening, Louis XIV?s public meals, a ritual that attracted all the courtiers, took place in the antechamber known as the Grand Couvert, at Versailles. The Sinfonies pour les Soupers du Roy, by the illustrious composer Michel-Richard Delalande, accompanied these evenings.
Today, Hervé Niquet, at the helm of the Concert Spirituel orchestra and accompanied by actor Jean-Philippe Desrousseaux, reprises selected pieces from this collection, with his usual original approach. So, after the conductor in a Scottish kilt, in Don Quixote?s armor, in a bullfighter?s costume or as music director of Baron Münchhausen, what has he concocted for us this time? Hervé Niquet adds seven interludes to the grandiose overtures and dance suites that enchanted the king during the grand dinner. Everything takes place in the home of the composer Delalande, whom he personifies on stage, composing and orchestrating his symphonies in interaction with his chef. A rare opportunity to watch a work being put together, and instrumental lines and colors being distributed among the different desks.
Drinking songs, anecdotes, satire and scandal: with letters from Madame de Sévigné, gazettes recounting the latest antics of opera singers or the Mercure de France, plunge into the heart of history, and savor with delight all the gossip of the court, which will be as crisp, cheerful, light-hearted and even poetic as the show that awaits you!
