La Rêveuse

Founded by Benjamin Perrot and Florence Bolton, La Rêveuse is an ensemble of solo musicians that works on the heritage of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a period rich in artistic experiments and inventions of all kinds. La Rêveuse is frequently invited to appear in prestigious venues in France (Auditorium de Radio France, La Folle Journée de Nantes, Les Concerts Parisiens, Fontevraud Abbey, Théâtre de l'Athénée, the Chambord and Radio-France Montpellier festivals, the Scènes Nationales of Orléans, Blois, and Quimper, the TNP de Villeurbanne, etc.) and abroad, notably in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Russia, Japan, the United States and Canada.

The ensemble's recordings (Locke/Purcell, K617 2006; Purcell, Mirare 2008; Buxtehude/Reinken, Mirare 2009; Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, Mirare 2010; Sébastien de Brossard, Mirare 2011; Henry Lawes, Mirare 2013; Telemann, Mirare 2015 (fff Télérama); Devotional Songs by Purcell, Mirare 2015 (CHOC de Classica, Choix de France Musique)) have all been acclaimed by the French and international press. The disc Trio Sonatas by Buxtehude from the Uppsala Manuscript, released on Mirare in February 2017, received a wide array of awards, including ffff Télérama, Choc de Classica and Choc Classica of the Year 2017, 5 de Diapason, Choix de France Musique, Choix Radio Classique, Joker Crescendo, 5 croches Pizzicato and Clef de Resmusica, and was selected in the Bestenliste for the prestigious Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik. Its last CD, Marin Marais : Pièces de viole, is available since January 2018 and is already awarded a Choix France Musique.

Wishing to forge links between the different artistic disciplines, the ensemble often collaborates with the world of the theatre and literature in order to give a new slant to classic texts. Among the notable productions it has premiered are L'Autre Monde ou les États et Empires de la Lune by Cyrano de Bergerac and Les Caractères de La Bruyère with the actor and director Benjamin Lazar, Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme by Molière/Lully with Catherine Hiegel and François Morel, Molière's Monsieur de Pourceaugnac with Théâtre de l'Éventail (Raphaël de Angelis) and L'Heure verte, a show focusing on the poets of the Cabaret du Chat Noir, with the composer Vincent Bouchot.
