Costumes en fête, the exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris

The Philharmonie de Paris hosts the exhibition Costumes en fête as part of the 40th anniversary of the musical ensemble Les Arts Florissants, from December 20, 2019 to May 11, 2020. For the occasion, the museum brings together over 40 costumes created for Les Arts Florissants' finest opera productions, from Monteverdi's Retour d'Ulysse to Rameau's Indes galantes.

Founded in 1979 by William Christie, Les Arts Florissants is one of the world's most renowned ensembles dedicated to Baroque music. In residence at the Philharmonie de Paris since 2015, it's only natural that the venue should celebrate the 40th anniversary of Les Arts Florissants with a temporary exhibition, Costumes en fête, to be seen in the heart of the Musée de la Musique from December 20, 2019 to May 11, 2020.

In the museum's halls, silk costumes bring a different perspective to the 1,000 instruments on display. Between Chopin's piano and Antonio Stradivari's Sarasate violin, the Musée de la Musique unveils 40 costumes from the opera productions of this ensemble, from Monteverdi's Return of Ulysses to Rameau's Indes galantes . The costumes are magnificent, produced for baroque operas of the French Grand Siècle and presented all over the world.
