Jean-Philippe Rameau: Les Boréades

In his last tragédie lyrique "Les Boréades", Jean-Philippe Rameau tells the story of Queen Alphise, who falls in love with the mysterious Abaris against all tradition. But the law demands that she marries a descendant of the north wind god Boreas. When everything seems hopeless, Apollo provides a happy ending as a true deus ex machina. With poignant arias and captivating dances, Rameau once again demonstrates his complete mastery in 1763 - never before has a tragedy been so gripping. The star tenor and baroque expert Reinoud van Mechelen conducts this international co-production, which can be experienced in Germany exclusively at KLANGVOKAL.
