Odi and Amo Concert

ODI and AMO Concert will open the 2025-2026 season of L'Oiseau Bleu on Saturday, September 28, 2025, at 5 p.m., at the Saint-François-de-Paule Church in Nice (opposite the Opera House).

ODI et AMO takes you on a journey to the heart of the 17th century, where music is both a duel and an embrace.
Odi et Amo explores the rivalry and fusion between voice, harp, sackbut, and organ. The sackbut against the voice, and the sackbut and voice blending together in a love duet—come listen to the immortal duets of Monteverdi, Purcell, and others.

The passion and sweetness of 17th-century music will leave no one indifferent.

ODI and AMO on the program

• Claudio Monteverdi – Zefiro Torna, Pur ti miro, Se dolce'l tormento, Rosa del Ciel;
• Henry Purcell – Sound the Trumpet;
• Girolamo Frescobaldi – Se l'aura spira;
• Antonio Cesto – Alma mia;
• Giulio Caccini – Vedro'il mio sol;
• Honoré d'Ambruy – Le doux silence;
• Alessandro Scarlatti - Se riscaldi Tebro e l'onda;
• Bertoli & Fontana – Sonatas:

A concert constructed like a theater of passions: the three musicians together, the three competing, for an experience where emotion arises from contrast.

Don't miss this unique encounter between struggle and harmony, fire and gentleness, opposition and fusion.
