  • Les Arts Florissants is a Baroque musical ensemble in residence at the Théâtre de Caen in Caen, France. The organization was founded by conductor William Christie in 1979. The ensemble derives its name from the 1685 opera by Marc-Antoine Charpentier. The organization consists of a chamber orchestra of period instruments and a small vocal ensemble. Current notable members include soprano Danielle de Niese and tenor Paul Agnew, the latter of which has served as assistant conductor since 2007. Jonathan Cohen is also currently on the conducting staff. Christie remains the organization's Artistic Director. Although not specifically a baroque opera ensemble, it is within this field that Les Arts Florissants has achieved its greatest successes. The majority of the ensemble's performances are of period operas (both staged and in concert), many of which are available on CD on the Harmonia Mundi and Erato labels and on DVD. The group first drew international acclaim in the area of opera in December 1986-January 1987 with a production of Jean-Baptiste Lully's Atys at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. The opera had not been performed since 1753 and Christie had unearthed the score at the Bibliothèque nationale de France to put the work together. The ensemble has continued in a similar vein of presenting rarely heard works at their own home in Caen and on the stages of major opera houses and concert venues like the Teatro Real, the Opéra national du Rhin, the Opéra National de Paris, Carnegie Hall, and the Barbican Centre. The ensemble also occasionally presents works from the standard repertoire, most particularly a number of operas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Les Arts Florissants has also had a number of successes in the concert repertoire. The organization has performed and recorded a number of oratorios, cantatas, madrigals, masses, motets, and other musical forms typical of early music. Occasionally the ensemble has made forrays into contemporary repertoire, notably performing the world premiere of Betty Jolas's Motets III - Hunc igitor terrorem in 1999 on the occasion of the ensemble's 25th anniversary gala. Many former members of Les Arts Florissants have gone on to have successful music careers outside of the organization. These include several internationally renowned conductors in the field of early music, including Marc Minkowski, Christophe Rousset, Hugo Reyne, and Hervé Niquet.

  • «Процветающие искусства» или «Цветущие искусства» — барочный оркестр, созданный Уильямом Кристи в 1979 г. Базируется в городском театре французского города Кан. Назван по одноимённой опере Марка-Антуана Шарпантье, которая в 1982 г. стала первой постановкой коллектива. Среди важнейших работ оркестра (многие из них были подготовлены им по нескольку раз заново) — оперы Монтеверди «Коронация Поппеи», Пёрселла «Дидона и Эней», Люлли «Атис», Генделя «Альсина», Рамо «Бореады», Моцарта «Волшебная флейта» и «Похищение из сераля», опера-балет Рамо «Галантные Индии», «Страсти по Иоанну» Иоганна Себастьяна Баха. Об особой влиятельности «Процветающих искусств» говорит то, что многие из бывших участников оркестра — в частности, Марк Минковский, Эмманюэль Аим, Жоэль Сююбьет, Эрве Нике, Кристоф Руссе — в дальнейшем стали создателями собственных камерных ансамблей со сходной специализацией.
