Info zu Mon amant de Saint-Jean

Vincent Dumestre und Stéphanie d'Oustrac teilen die Faszination für die Echos aus der Vergangenheit und fanden so zu ihrer allerersten Zusammenarbeit. Mit ihrem Projekt Mon Amant de Saint-Jean begeben sie sich auf musikalische Abenteuerreise bei der die die Atmosphäre der Chansons der Années Folles die Alte Musik mit ihrem süßen Wahnsinn durchdringt. 1904 erhielt die große Kabarettsängerin Yvette Guilbert eine Einladung in das Haus der Familie Casadesus, Gründer der Société des Instruments Anciens. Und so verbrüderten sich Barock und Café-Konzert. In der Revue Paris qui chante trifft eine Arie von Scarlatti auf die derbe Sprache von Aristide Bruant und Paulin, während Gaston Dumestre, Sänger im Kabarett Le Chat Noir (und einer von Vincents Vorfahren!), Chansons réalistes singt. Dabei begleitet er sich selbst auf der Theorbe, die ihm Oscar II. von Schweden geschenkt hat: "In der Sprache müssen wir die gemeinsame Antriebskraft suchen. Diese Kabarettsänger schätzten an den Worten der Barockzeit den sehr speziellen Ton, die Kraft und die Schärfe", sagt Vincent Dumestre.

Stéphanie d'Oustrac
From a very young age, Stéphanie d’Oustrac – Francis Poulenc’s great grandniece – started dedicating herself to music and the stage. With her intense presence on stage, her generous personality and her impeccable figure, Stéphanie d’Oustrac has become one of the most outstanding mezzos of her generation.

Her early career was notably devoted to the baroque repertoire. William Christie was the first to discover her talents as a singer and as an actress, and offered her her first tragic roles: Médée in Thésée by Lully and Psyché in Les Métamorphoses de Psyché (Lully-Quinault / Molière – Corneille). She has sung Médée by Charpentier conducted by Hervé Niquet (DVD, Armide Classics), Monteverdi’s trilogy with Jean-Claude Malgoire, Dido and Aeneas with William Christie, Sosarme at Saint Gallen, Les Paladins at the Théâtre du Châtelet (DVD Opus Arte), at the Barbican Center, in Shanghai and in Tokyo, Armide (title role) by Lully at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées (DVD Fra Musica), Alcina (Ruggiero) at the Opéra de Lyon, Giulio Cesare at Glyndebourne Festival, in Marseille and Nancy, Orphée et Eurydice at the Théâtre royal de la Monnaie…

Her perfect diction soon drew public attention and she has now become one of the most sought-after singers in the French repertoire. Her much acclaimed performances in Médée and Armide inevitably led her to Carmen, first at the Opéra de Lille where critics praised her for her debut and then in David McVicar’s production at the Glyndebourne Festival. She has also sung Les Contes d’Hoffmann (la Muse, Nicklausse) at the Opéra de Lausanne, L’Étoile (Lazuli) by Chabrier at the Opéra Comique and at the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam, L’Enfant et les Sortilèges and L’Heure espagnole at the Glyndebourne Festival (DVD Fra Musica) and at the Teatro all’Opera in Rome, Dialogues des Carmélites (Mère Marie) at the Opéra d’Avignon, Pelléas et Mélisande at the Angers-Nantes Opera and Béatrice et Bénédict at La Monnaie in Brussels.

Mozart’s operas also have a very special place in Stéphanie d’Oustrac’s repertoire, as she has sung them on many major Opera stages around the world: Le Nozze di Figaro (Cherubino) in Tokyo, La Clemenza di Tito at the Opéra national de Paris, at the Opéra du Rhin, at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, in Baden Baden and in Luxembourg, Così fan tutte (Dorabella) at the Opéra national de Paris, Idomeneo (Idamante) at the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam.

Her artistic personality appeals to prestigious stage directors such as Calixto Bieito, Robert Carsen, Romeo Castellucci, Mariame Clément, Willy Decker, Jérôme Deschamps, Andreas Homoki, Yannis Kokkos, Jan Lauwers, David McVicar, Laurent Pelly, Bruno Ravella, Jean-François Sivadier, Dmitri Tcherniakov, Jean-Marie Villegier… as well as to the most respected conductors such as Alain Altinoglu, Myung-Whun Chung, James Conlon, Alan Curtis, Ottavio Dantone, Sir Colin Davis, Stéphane Denève, Charles Dutoit, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Philippe Jordan, Jesus Lopez Cobos, Marc Minkowski, Ludovic Morlot, John Nelson, Tomas Netopil, Kazushi Ono, Jérémie Rhorer, Michael Schønwandt…
