Overview

Véronique Gens and James Baillieu evoke the salons of Belle Epoque Paris (together with a playful nod to transatlantic musical theatre) through a programme steeped in exquisite poetic imagery and heartfelt emotions. ‘Is there a singer more compelling?’, asked the Guardian in its review of the soprano’s recording of works in this evening’s programme.
