About the evening :

In this really unusual encounter the artists come from two neighbouring musical universes that intersect incessantly – jazz and classical. Dee Dee Bridgewater and Ruggero Raimondi, two of the outstanding voices of the last forty years, will come together beneath LUNA for two evenings in a programme that is certain to bring surprises.

A prince of the opera, Ruggero Raimondi was the first Don Giovanni on film. With his voice and his presence, which are engraved in the memory of all those who have seen and heard him, he will be taking a walk inside the jazz and pop musical universe of the great Dee Dee Bridgewater. He will also offer a few popular songs dear to him from his childhood, in French, Italian and English.

Dee Dee Bridgewater is a huge personality. From the very start of her career she has been picking up prizes for her roles in musicals. Her programme will be peppered with surprises ; for example a jazzified Carmen from the 1990s. An electrifying singer of swing, powerful in all the musical registers, from blues to popular song, Dee Dee Bridgewater generates a unique tone and energy that accord perfectly with the personality of Ruggero Raimondi.
