Traditionally associated with Christmas carols, children are at the heart of this concert at La Source Vive. The young voices of the Maîtrise de l’Opéra de Lyon and the La Source Vive Ephemeral Choir, made up of young singers from the local area and pupils from the CM2 class at École du Centre, are the ideal performers for these festive works, bringing together two major figures of 20th- and 21st-century opera: Benjamin Britten and Isabelle Aboulker.
