Événement

Daphnis et Chloé & Eugene Onegin

This double-bill is an exercise in contrasts. First is the idyllic opening of Tchaikovsky's tragic romantic masterpiece. We will meet all principal characters of the opera and will be left with a desire for this music to never end. Next is a one-act opera, a pastoral comedy from France, where the gods and wild Nymphs have to teach two mortals how to love each other.
