Deutsche Philharmonie Merck

When the crème de la crème of the young European baroque scene meets one of the most important conductors of our time, a magic is created that goes far beyond the usual. The European Union Baroque Orchestra (EUBO) brings the splendor of Versailles to Darmstadt under the baton of world-class conductor Christophe Rousset.

European top class: the EUBO unites the continent's best young talents to form an ensemble of unparalleled joy of playing. A star on the podium: Christophe Rousset is regarded as one of the world's leading interpreters of French baroque music.
At the center of the evening is Jean-Philippe Rameau's masterpiece "Pygmalion". The gripping story of the artist is brought to life, whose sculpture comes to life through the power of love and music. A feast for the senses - virtuoso, highly emotional and with a lightness of dance!
