A mystical night in Naples
For Lent in 1724, the brotherhood of the Knights of the Virgin of the Seven Sorrows of Naples commissioned a two-voice Stabat Mater from the famous composer Alessandro Scarlatti. His patrons soon deemed it out of fashion, and a few years later it was replaced by Pergolesi’s famous version. Yet the old Scarlatti’s composition is a strange, fascinating, tortured work, and in many ways more modern for our contemporary ears. Soprano Marie Théoleyre and countertenor Rémy Brès-Feuillet, accompanied by the musicians of La Palatine, bring back some of the mystery of that Neapolitan night.
In 2025, La Palatine begins a three-year residency in Beaune as part of the ‘Baroque futur’ programme.
