Château Roubine’s Lyric Festival Voix en Vigne and Eve Ruggieri have raised the petticoats of the great muses through works inspired by eminent musical female figures.
Voix en Vignes, the biggest cultural and musical event in the Var, is organized by Valérie Rousselle, owner of the prestigious Château Roubine in Lorgues. For its 9th edition, the lyrical event brought together on July 1, 2017 a line-up of outstanding artists and the evening, punctuated by the most beautiful airs of opera devoted to the great muses, was carried by Eve Ruggieri‘s awsome talent of storyteller. This born musicologist transported the audience on a journey through the finest musical pages written by great composers for women.
Illustrious women honored
In the park surrounded by vines in front of Château Roubine, under the vault of the starry sky, the magic operated as soon as Eve Ruggieri entered the stage. If behind every great man, there’s a great woman, their faces remain blurry and Eve Ruggieri’s sweet voice took the public into the musical and lyrical mystery of illustrious women, muses of famous composers, characters of great operas, literary authors or great historical figures. To honor them: the music of Mozart, Offenbach, Gounod, Handel, Donizetti.
Legendary stories performed by soprano Raquel Camarinha, mezzo-soprano Delphine Haidan, bass-baritone Nicolas Cavallier and pianist François Chaplin.
