Gounod's Cinq‐Mars at Versailles

イベント情報

"Understand the passion which inhabits Mr. Gounod’s soul and the spirit of his French intelligence, the talent of this craftsman…"

This excerpt from a critique published in 1877 foresaw the popularity that Gounod's opera would enjoy. In this new production, performed in concert version, all of the sensuality of Faust and Romeo and Juliet meet the sophistication and nobility of the grand historical opera tradition.
