Massenet

The supreme operatic craftsman of the Belle Époque, Jules Massenet was a theatrical chameleon, able to lend each of his operas a unique musical colouring across a wide spectrum of historical and fictional settings. This new collection seems designed to show that his orchestral works are equally kaleidoscopic.

Massenet Don Quichotte

 

La Monnaie’s 2010 production of Massenet’s Don Quichotte was mounted to mark both the work’s centenary and the farewell performances of the distinguished Belgian bass José van Dam. Van Dam has long excelled in the title role, while the opera was Massenet’s last great success. The sexagenarian composer imbued its bittersweet tale of an old man’s idealistic love for an unobtainable beauty with all the valedictory heartache of an intentional swansong.
