BERLIOZ: LES TROYENS

Directed by Barbara Willis Sweete
United States, 2013
Music

Synopsis

Berlioz’ last large-scale work was an attempt to rise above what he viewed as shallow, crowd pleasing “grand” operas in vogue at the time. This is his retelling of nothing less than the Trojan Wars of antiquity; the style hints at Wagner.
