In the forest of the Arcadian Mountains, Pan, in his pine needle garland, stumbles, enchanted by the sight of Syrinx, the water nymph. Her chaste beauty overwhelms him like a blessed mythical breeze, accompanied by the forest’s own plaintive birdsong. Suddenly, ancient legends come to life and to the sweet sounds of the sylvan pipe, nature herself awakens: Let the celebration of love and life commence!

Flauguissimo brings new life to the mythical creatures of antiquity through a mini-opera of French baroque repertoire. From Diana’s bath in Acteon and the chase of Pan and Syrinx to the Grande Entrée of Apollo himself, we finally unite, gods and humans alike, in the Dionysian fervor of Les Indes Galantes!
