Roland
Lausanne Opera's acclaimed revival of one of Lully's greatest lyric tragedies, hugely popular in his own day but virtually unstaged since. The story of the flawed, knightly hero, struggling to reconcile the claims of honour and glory with his hopeless love forthe beautiful Angelique, is told in music of vivid power and bewitching subtlety. Stephanie Hughes presents.
