Surrounded by an ensemble of exceptional instrumentalists, Mariana Flores brings to life a whole world of emotions and transformations, where the voices of desire unfold with striking freedom, intensity, and expressiveness. From Monteverdi to Cavalli, from Frescobaldi to Sances, via Marazzoli, Mazzocchi, Bertalli, and Zamponi, this concert explores a repertoire where music closely mirrors the movements of the soul.

Love appears here in all its forms: tender or cruel, refined or imperious, lighthearted or devastating. Heroines and figures of servants, the voices of desire and those of disillusionment, the seductions of the theater and the wounds of intimacy compose an emotional landscape of rare richness. Through famous and lesser-known works, *Sortilèges d’Amour* showcases the expressive modernity of the early Baroque, when music becomes the language of the heart, the breath of drama, and the art of enchantment.

Carried by the magnetic presence of Mariana Flores, an artist deeply connected to the world of this repertoire, this evening promises a moment of great intensity, at once intimate, theatrical, and deeply alive. A concert where the singing, supported by the delicacy of the bassoon, flutes, viola, cello, harp, lute, and harpsichord, brings forth all the evocative power of an art dedicated to moving, surprising, and captivating.
