About

Inspired by a twelfth-century legend, the plot of Grisélidis features the wife of a knight who is fighting in the Holy Land. When the Devil tests her fidelity, the wife becomes a devoted mother to avoid yielding to temptation. Massenet’s work, which was intended for the Opéra-Comique in Paris, where it was premiered in 1901, tackles the medieval period in contrasting registers: religion, fantasy, comedy and the sublime. A fine team of French singers allows us to rediscover this neglected opus.

Coproduction Théâtre des Champs-Elysées / Palazzetto Bru Zane / Opéra Orchestre national Montpellier Occitanie, dans le cadre du Xe Festival Palazzetto Bru Zane Paris
