SABINE DEVIEILHE on her recital tour

Following her great success as Sophie in the Harry Kupfer production of Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier at La Scala in Milan, Sabine Devieilhe now dedicates her November to the most intimate form performance: Lied. With stylistically confident elegance, she dedicates herself to the mélodie française just as skilfully as to the German romantic repertoire, and can be heard in recitals at the Opéra Comique in Paris, the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, the Konzerthaus Dortmund, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Elbphilharmonie and the Lausanne Opera.

Together with her long-time recital partner Mathieu Pordoy, she will be singing her way through a whole cosmos of loving lullabies by Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss and Edvard Grieg in her upcoming recitals.

In the second half of the concert, she contrasts Strauss' “Mädchenblumen” about four female characters with the female perspective of Lili Boulanger's songs. With works by Germaine Tailleferre and Cécile Chaminade, Devieilhe brings two other French female composers to the stage who are otherwise often shadowed by the voices of their male colleagues. Of course, the chanson icon Édith Piaf and her ‘Hymne à l'amour’ are not to be missed in such a love story.
