Opera: Thésée


The tragedy "Thésée" will be playing at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees from the 20th to the 29th of February. The opera, written by Jean-Baptiste Lully, is based on a love triangle taken from Greek mythology and was shown for the first time in 1675 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in front of Louis XIV. With the talent of Jean-Louis Martinoty and Emmanuelle Haim's musical insight, the opera is said to be a hit.
