Le Concert d’Astrée
Le Concert d’Astrée was founded in 2000 by conductor Emmanuelle Haïm, who brought together experienced musicians with a deep dedication to the authentic and expressive performance of early music. The ensemble quickly grew into one of the world’s leading baroque ensembles. It has accompanied performances of baroque operas at venues such as Staatsoper Berlin, Opéra national de Paris and the Glyndebourne Festival. Le Concert d’Astrée previously appeared at Dutch National Opera in George Frideric Handel’s Giulio Cesare. In the 2025 – 2026 season, the ensemble returns to accompany Handel’s Semele.
