Le roi Arthus: Paris Opera
About the Event
Philip Jordan conducts a new production of Ernest Chausson's rarely performed opera, Le Roi Arthus. The stellar cast includes Sophie Koch, Roberto Alagna, and Thomas Hampson.
Chausson wrote this, his only opera, for the Opera Garnier. Now, over a century after its composition and posthumous premiere at the Théâtre de La Monnaie in Brussels, Le Roi Arthus will be introduced into the repertoire of the Paris Opera.
