Lully: Alceste

In 1674, Lully and Quinault unveiled a new collaboration: Alceste, a tragédie en musique combining the dramatic power of the Greek myth from which it was inspired with the musical richness of the French Baroque. Despite criticism from the rivals of Lully and Quinault, this opera seduced the court of Louis XIV, reinforcing the new genre of the tragédie en musique. Stéphane Fuget explores a world where love, sacrifice and duty intertwine, supported by sumptuous arias and choruses of unprecedented expressivity, sublimely performed by Les Epopées and the Chœur de l'Opéra Royal.
