Sandrine Piau is one of those artists whose intelligence and aesthetic discernment have predestined them to the refined music of French opera. The colourful music of Lully and his successors is permeated with the nobility, joy, and royal magnificence that sprouted up from the soil of courtly culture in the court of Louis XIV. The charm and artistry of Sandrine Piau will transform the Rudolfinum into the French kings’ palace at Versailles!
