Roberto Alagna and Ludovic Tézier offer a delicious play of baritone and tenor in a sampling of the male roles they have played on the international opera stage. Two charismatic figures in the French lyric scene; two Mediterranean temperaments at the peak of their art.

In opera, the roles assigned to their tessituras place them in a hierarchy and often pit them against each other on the family or love scale. Roberto Alagna and Ludovic Tézier have often experienced this together, working with Bizet or Verdi. On the stage of the Philharmonie, the tenor and the baritone play the game and cross their voices with perfect intelligence and exquisite complicity. Their programme combines arias and male duets emblematic of the Romantic repertoire with music by the lesser-known Moniuszko.  Elegant phrasing, generous colours, unfailing energy and total commitment: the meeting of these two French singers, who are in demand all over the world by the most prestigious opera houses, does not stir up comparisons, but rather encourages the multiplication of talents.
