Musical Humor - Love Potion

They don't joke about love, they sing! A soprano and a cellist explore unhappy love in a no-holds-barred performance, from Wagner to Madonna...
During the intermission of Wagner's opera Tristan and Isolde—the most dramatic of love stories!—two artists return to their dressing room and talk... about love. He complains that he can't meet anyone anymore; she tries to convince him that he can, through music!
Their epic for voice and cello portrays soaring romantic emotions, with playfulness and a definite sense of bouncing from one era to another. Our attention is captivated as much by the well-known melodies of Western musical heritage—somatic, baroque, or popular—as by the libretti, poems, and amorous lyrics of Wagner's heightened and mystical romanticism, the lilting emotions of Nougaro, or the undeniable rock disappointments of Rita Mitsouko.
