Lalo - La Jacquerie

BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert

Katie Derham presents a performance of Lalo's four-act opera La Jacquerie.

Katie Derham presents a performance of Lalo's four-act La Jacquerie given at the 2015 Montpellier Festival. With Veronique Gens and Charles Castronovo.

Katie Derham presents Lalo's opera La Jacquerie, recorded at the Montpellier Festival in July, starring Véronique Gens and Charles Castronovo.

Set in late-medieval France, the young Robert falls in love with Blanche, daughter of the local lord, while a bloody peasant revolt takes place. He places himself as protector between her father and the disenfranchised people, but he is pursued and attacked by the crowd.

Lalo's admiration for Wagner is clear in this concise 4-act drama. He left it unfinished but it was completed by his collaborator Arthur Coquard.
