SUMMARY

It is time to stroll through the Versailles galleries, adorned with winter foliage and scented with the warm wax of candles, toward the royal chapel. There, Charpentier and Lalande’s Noëls are performed—a festive music blending popular dances, lively rhythms, clear harmonies, and brilliant orchestral effects. Join in these Baroque holiday splendours, where singing brings stage and audience together.
