T’amo mia vita
O dolcezze amarissime d’Amore
Stral pungente di Amore
Aura soave
Come dolce hoggi l’auretta
Troppo ben può
Non sa che sia dolore
Le tre Sirene
Deh vieni ormai cor mio
Ch’io non t’ami cor mio
Belle ne fe’ natura
O Primavera
Le tre Damigelle
Io mi son giovinetta
Occhi del pianto mio
Coro delle piante incantate
The La Néréide ensemble was born from the meeting of three talented young sopranos during their singing studies at the Haute École de Musique de Genève. Julie Roset, Ana Vieira Leite and Camille Allérat have chosen to combine their voices and play on different ranges for varied programs mixing solos, duets and trios. The ensemble tackles the repertoire of madrigals written for the three Ladies of Ferrara, three singers whom the whole of Europe admired and envied for secret concerts reserved for an aristocratic audience.
Julie Roset, a magnificent discovery from the previous edition of the Festival, has just won 1st prize in the prestigious Opéralia competition, under the presidency of Plácido Domingo.
