A long-forgotten monument to French opera, executed with an energy that truly does it justice. It has it all: the pain of forbidden love, plaintive distress at blatant injustice, the terror of a catastrophic tempest, the relief of a happy ending. You will be captivated by this, Rameau’s final masterpiece, conducted by Václav Luks !

Rameau’s career was in its twilight years when rehearsals of his final work, Les Boréades, began in spring 1764 at the Académie Royale de Musique. The death of the composer in September interrupted the production of his lyric tragedy, which was only saw the light of day two centuries later! This magnificent opera is undoubtedly the most accomplished of Rameau’s works, composed when he was aged eighty and in full possession of his creative means. The composition for orchestra and choir is dizzyingly brilliant, the melodic invention exceptional, the drama powerful: a true musical testament.
