Canticum Novum is the guest of the Opéra d'Avignon season this weekend for 3 performances of their children's show “Nour” at l'Autre Scène in Vedène (FR). It's an imaginary, initiatory and inner journey into the mind of a mischievous and energetic granddaughter, Nour. To overcome her phobia of thunderstorms, she recalls happy family memories: her parents' voices, the sweet smells of childhood, the touch of silk; buried sensations resound like so many sweet, reassuring moments of the past. But tonight, as the storm rumbles on, Nour will have to draw on her resources and her memory to find the strength to face her anxieties and grow up.

This December, Nicolas Simon conducts the Orchestre de Chambre Nouvelle-Aquitaine in Georges Bizet's operetta Docteur Miracle, a project in partnership with the Palazzetto Bru Zane, for a series of 4 performances!

Here's a remedy for apathy, asthma, heartache, rheumatism and a whole host of other ailments. For those who still have doubts about its effectiveness, some of the liveliest of the liveliest will demonstrate, in a few songs, that one voice makes a noise, and that four is just as pretty! A little gem of music and humour about credulity and vanity!
