Aminta in handel’s aminta e fillide on tour with les arts florissants

But the highlight was Händel Aminta e Fillide's pastoral cantata, by sopranos Jessica Niles and Shaked Bar.  The first, with a beautiful and wide voice, agile coloration and stage delivery, sang with feeling and conviction…both showed important theatrical talents that delighted the audience.

An erotic game with a happy ending that allowed the two sopranos (I insist: baroque singing, without anything predictable, is a queer paradise) to exhibit their stage skills, as well as vocals, especially in the case of Niles, much applauded by a beautiful voice -unfolded with great agility. A delightful concert that came as a new gift from Christie and her accomplices, who act as if the works they perform have just blossomed.

The American soprano Jessica Niles seduced the audience with her pure and bright timbre and an extremely natural song of expression, stripped of artificial and conventional settings…a performance that both singers gave a semi-staged air and that, as a whole, managed to imprint a fresh, relaxed and joyful atmosphere, as well as refined, exquisite and courteous.  Undoubtedly, for most, a musical find, served with the joviality of vigorous emerging talent and the teaching of the elegant director of fuchsia-colored socks.
