Jordi Savall, one of my heroes, conducted the Concert des Nations orchestra in a fabulous rendering of Jean-Philippe Rameau's Naïs (1748), Les Indes Galantes (1735), Zoroastre (1749) and Les Boréades (1764) orchestra suites composed for king Louis XV. Bravo, bravissimo.

Jordi Savall, l'un de mes héros, dirigeait le Concert des Nations dans une interprétation magistrale des suites d'orchestre de Naïs, les Indes Galantes, Zoroastre et les Boréades, composant ensemble l'Orchestre de Louis XV de Jean-Philippe Rameau. Bravo, bravissimo.

Although I am not familiar with that music, I can imagine what an exciting experience this must have been! And I really like that first picture...I'm sure it wasn't easy to get that!
I love going to concerts with you!
Thank you for taking us along. I hope you had a wonderful time.
The concert hall is marvelous. Sorry, but I am not familiar with the music. Glad you enjoyed it.
A very wonderful experience to share with us. I enjoy learning how the opera house had been used then and now...
Sounds (well the idea of it at least!) heavenly.
Wow very amazing. I would like to attend with you too. I am sure you enjoyed the music. Can you hear my hands clapping. MB
I would be fun for you to visit Whidbey. Mum would like it too. MB
Just being in the place would be wonderful. Just hearing the music would be uplifting. But both together? Ahh!
The only opera I know is Les Indes Galantes, but I am now looking for a recodirng of these suites!
oh gosh...I'm really envious! Wonderful event!

Any concert would be terrific at this venue (I suspect). And, how could I possibly be mad at you?! : )
What a magnificent, royal place to watch an orchestra concert! Wish I could have been your guest!
Bravo! Encore!
fun to hear about one of your heroes! I will have to check him out.
Thank you for your supportive comment! Wishing you a lovely week.
voila un concert comme je les aime et en plus dans un endroit magnifique, tu en as de la chance
A marvel of theatrical decor! truly stunning and love the golden lighting. Adds to the ambiance.
One day, when I am able to visit my friend Ciel in Versailles, will she take me to this wonderful place that woos the senses?
Tu as vu Jordi Savall en vrai?!!! trop de la veine!!
It looks like it was probably a very memorable concert.
It looks a wonderful theatre. The kind of place to get dressed up for!
You're making me feel worse for missing a classical concert here last Saturday... Not the same calibre of theatre, though!!
These are stunning shots, Ciel! I like the standing orchestra in the first and the wonderful columns of the second. I can sense the wonder of hearing them play. Wonderful!!
