Dear Friends,
This autumn has seen some of the most intense and exciting times of our association's year.
The month of October has been particularly full of emotions, encounters and artistic discoveries, and we're delighted to have been able to share them with you.
First, we were delighted to offer a second Masterclass in opera singing, led by the incomparable Maestro Chris Merritt.
His presence among us is a true gift: his musical sensitivity, his eye for detail and his vast experience offer our young artists a rare opportunity to progress, to blossom and to surpass themselves.
For the audience, these moments of live work are always a privileged interlude, where the very heart of the creation of the vocal gesture is brought face-to-face.
We invite you to visit our Youtube channel to see a video clip summarizing the final concert given in public on October 11.
At the same time, we continued our mission of transmitting and sharing knowledge with a conference dedicated to one of the great figures of the XIXᵉ century: the fascinating Pauline Viardot.
The meeting was hosted by our faithful friend and privileged speaker, Professor Emeritus Patrick Barbier, whose passion and erudition always captivate and enlighten our audience.
A unique opportunity to rediscover this exceptional singer, whose talent, intelligence and rarely performed compositions left their mark on her era.
This November, one of the greatest Performers of recent decades, Maestro Ludovic Tézier, honored us by joining the honorary committee ofHelvetia Lyrica.
Finally, behind the scenes, we're putting the finishing touches to our 2026 program, which we've designed with care, enthusiasm and a small dose of surprise.
We look forward to unveiling the upcoming season, which will reflect our ongoing commitment to bringing the richness of the lyric arts to life for as many people as possible, without distinction.
In the meantime, we'd like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your presence, your interest and your support. Without you, none of this would be possible.
TheHelvetia Lyrica team wishes you all the very best for the festive season.
Patrick Motisi
