René Jacobs conducted the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra in an outstanding performance of Mozart's Idomeneo as part of Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival

In 1676, Louis XIV’s court composer, Jean-Baptiste Lully, wrote Atys, an unusually tragic opera that became a favorite of the king. In 1987, William Christie’s Les Arts Florissants revived it in an acclaimed series of performances in Paris and eventually at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Cette nouvelle production de l'atelier lyrique de Toucoing dirigée par Jean-Claude Malgoire bénéficie d'une belle distribution mais manque parfois d'équilibre et d'acuité pour interpréter cette oeuvre.
