Les fontaines de Versailles - the fountains of Versailles

Jean-Baptiste Lully Exaudiat te Dominus

At the court of Louis XIV in Versailles, music was played from morning to night, at festivities anyway, but also on "ordinary" days. One of the court composers, Michel-Richard de Lalande (1657-1726), was inspired by the famous water features in the garden and composed the opera Les fontaines de Versailles, excerpts from which will be heard in this concert. It was chosen by Jonas Dippon, who would like to immerse himself in the style of the magnificent French baroque music as part of the final concert of his residency with the Stiftskantor. The singers of the Stuttgarter Kantorei and all the instrumentalists will do their utmost to support him!
