Opera
William Christie conducts Lully's Armide at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées
Next broadcasts Saturday, June 1 at 08:30 on Mezzo
Armide was Jean-Baptiste Lully's last "tragédie en musique" (in five acts and a prologue). It was composed in 1686 on a libretto by Philippe Quinault and is often considered as the masterwork of both artists. The argument of the tragedy is borrowed from Tasso's "Jerusalem Delivered" (Gerusalemme liberata) and tells of the witch Armide's unrequited love for the knight Renaud.
