Overview

Andrea Marcon with an evening of counterpoint as Bach junior and Beethoven engage in dialogue.

Andrea Marcon pursues his collaboration with the Orchestre de chambre de Paris focusing on Beethoven, to whom he brings the sense of historical rigour he has developed in the baroque repertoire, notably in the works of Handel and Vivaldi. The Italian conductor will try to pinpoint the essence of the moment when the “sensitive” classicism of the second half of the 18^th century tipped over into Beethovian revolution. Symphony No. 1 in D major Wq. 183 by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Bach’s second son, is tasked with revealing his Empfindsamkeit, which places the emphasis on expressivity, emotion and freedom from the constraints of the baroque canon. Concerto for piano No. 1, composed twenty-five years later at the turn of century, with soloist Alexander Gadjiev, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 reveal a young composer aged thirty who decided to embrace his heritage in order to escape it more effectively.

Venue Info

Théâtre des Champs-Elysées - Paris
15 Avenue Montaigne

The Théâtre des Champs-Élysées is an entertainment venue situated near Avenue des Champs-Élysées, from which it takes its name. Its eponymous main hall may seat up to 1,905 people.

Commissioned by impresario Gabriel Astruc, the theatre was built from 1911 to 1913 upon the designs of brothers Auguste Perret and Gustave Perret following a scheme by Henry van de Velde, and became the first example of Art Deco architecture in the city. Less than two months after its inauguration, the Théâtre hosted the world premiere of the Ballets Russes' Rite of Spring, which provoked one of the most famous classical music riots.

At present, the theatre shows about three staged opera productions a year, mostly baroque or chamber works more suited to the modest size of its stage and orchestra pit. It also houses an important concert season. It is the home venue of the Orchestre National de France and the Orchestre Lamoureux and serves as a French base for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra as well.

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées and Ensemble orchestral de Paris play most of their concerts here too, along with other dance, chamber music, recital, and pop events.
