Performer: Bénédicte Tauran

Eine reife Leisung mit vielen Elementen beachtlichen Seltenheitswerts, genauso wie noch Lullys Opern heutzutage, die getreu des Klarafestival-Mottos mal wieder Musik wurden.

A muddled staging of Mozart's Lucio Silla in Kassel was made worse by two sicknesses in the cast (with one role cut entirely as a result). The orchestra and singers still made beautiful music.

Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques perform Alceste, the most recent effort in their almost complete set of Lully's operas. A strong cast and a remarkable chorus complete a successful performance.
