Rameau: Anacreon & Pigmalion

A riotous evening of fabulous French opera.

Celebrating the delights of love and booze this impeccably crafted triple bill was curated by our artistic director Erin Helyard. Showcasing some of Rameau’s most deliciously perfect and joyous music, contrasted with an Italian intermezzo in the style of the period, Taryn Fiebig led an outstanding cast of party-goers.

Erin Helyard says "We revive the intermezzo tradition in the best traditions of the genre of the acte de ballets themselves: which were sparkling, diverting, lyrical genres centred on a short story that revolve around the theme of love and pleasure. Get ready to rediscover opera as you've never heard it before!"
