About the Event

Witness a true rarity as it finally comes to the stage of Versailles' opulent Royal Opera. Jordi Savall fulfills the quest of a lifetime, staging viola da gambist and composer Marin Marais' 1706 opera Alcyone.

Savall has played the work of his instrumental predecessor throughout his career. Finally, his desire to stage Marais' work has come to fruition, with a cast of acclaimed singers, the Concert du Nations, and the support of several European opera companies. No lover of Baroque opera will want to miss this extraordinary performance.
