Performer: Luc Bertin-Hugault

An oriental sweetmeat from the pen of Henri Rabaud, based on a tale from The Arabian Nights, is revived triumphantly in Paris. 

Peter Brook can easily be dubbed a theater legend without equal. Though initially a theater director, famous for his daring and simple work, he expanded his repertoire and directed numerous operas at many different houses, including the Met, the Royal Opera House and Covent Garden.

Injustement oublié pendant des décennies, l'opéra de Gounod bénéficie d'une nouvelle production où la beauté des costumes, la qualité de la direction musicale et l'abattage du rôle-titre compensent les défauts observés.
