GALA Orchestral Concert

Saturday, 27 July 2019
7.30 pm, Saanen Church

One of the most sparkling voices of the repertoire, though she rose to fame at the end of the 1990s in the Baroque scene, she has since proved that she is equally at ease in Mozart, Poulenc, Alban Berg’s Lulu and even… Edith Piaf (whom she sang in 2018 in Alchimia, the ultimate creation of her deceased husband Didier Lockwood).

True star of classical music, ambassador of Deutsche Grammophon since 2008, Patricia Petibon is coming to Saanen under the smiling traits of Figaro… and his ladies! As well as with the much too infrequent «Ritter von Gluck», the most French of German composers.
