The terrible Armide has inspired many opera composers of genius. The Opéra Comique welcomes the heroine back from 17 to 25 June 2024, but it’s not the same music. Music lovers who heard Gluck‘s Armide last season will be able to draw comparisons with Lully‘s Armide, with the same libretto by Philippe Quinault and the same sets by Bruno de Lavenère. Director Lilo Baur is back at it again, with a different score and a completely new cast. Ambroisine Bré and Cyrille Dubois take on the roles of Armide and Renaud under the eagerly awaited direction of the great specialist Christophe Rousset at the helm of his Talens Lyriques.
