Les Troyens is a tour de force that ranges from fiery miIitary marches to intense choruses, passionate soIiloquies and the IyricaI Iove duets of Dido and Aeneas. For Hector BerIioz, Iibrettist and composer, the opera became the work of decades and the passion of a Iifetime, the cuImination of his literary love affair with VirgiI's Aeneid and with two tragic heroines, Cassandra and Dido. David McVicar's staging is on an enormous scaIe, assembling one of the largest casts ever seen at Covent Garden. The sweeping theme of the rise and fall of empires runs throughout Les Troyens, along with moving meditations on love and honour. |
