Olivier Bergeron launches debut album, Nuits Blanches
Baritone Olivier Bergeron’s debut album, Nuits Blanches, is now available to stream on all platforms.
“Featuring works by Ravel, Debussy, Fauré, and Jolivet, the album explores the many shades of love through the intimate lens of mélodie française. At its heart is Debussy’s elusive Nuits blanches—a haunting, long-lost song cycle with texts by the composer himself.”
Pianist Olivier Godin
