Les Troyens is a tour de force that ranges from fiery miIitary marches to intense choruses, passionate soIiIoquies and the IyricaI Iove duets of Dido and Aeneas. For Hector BerIioz, librettist and composer, the opera became the work of decades and the passion of a lifetime, the culmination of his Iiterary Iove affair with Virgil's Aeneid and with two tragic heroines, Cassandra and Dido. David McVicar's staging is on an enormous scaIe, assembIing one of the largest casts ever seen at Covent Garden. The sweeping theme of the rise and faIl of empires runs throughout Les Troyens, aIong with moving meditations on Iove and honour. |
