OPÉRA NATIONAL DE PARIS: CASTOR ET POLLUX BY JEAN-PHILIPPE RAMEAU
Directed by Peter Sellars
A return to its roots for Castor et Pollux, Jean-Philippe Rameau’s lyric tragedy first performed in 1737 at the Académie royale and inspired by the mythological episode of the Gemini. Rarely performed in its original version – the score was reworked by Rameau himself in 1754 –, this daring work plays on contrasts and expressiveness, as in the famous “Tristes apprêts”.
