Jordi Savall Conducts Marin Marais' Alcyone: Opéra Comique

Lo spettacolo

Early music legend Jordi Savall makes his debut as an opera conductor, leading his Concert des Nations in a performance of Marin Marais' opera Alcyone. The magical staging by Louise Moaty brings together theatrical machinery, the rigging of ships, and the circus arts.

Do not miss the chance to witness Jordi Savall conducting his first opera. The world‐famous conductor and instrumentalist is one of the greatest promoters of Marais' work and of Baroque music. He will undoubtedly make this story of lovers confronting the Gods' power and wrath resonate in a new light for the contemporary audience.
