With Susan Sharpe.
1.00 Opera Matinee: Le Roi Arthus Ernest Chausson 's only completed opera presents the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in a Wagnerian guise. Chausson, like his hero Wagner, wrote his own libretto, adapting the story to suit his scheme and concentrating on Lancelot's adulterous love for Guinevere. Plot and music both have definite echoes of Tristan und Isolde, despite
Chausson's wish: "If only I could de-Wagnerise myself!" Sung in French.
Dortmund Theatre Chorus and Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor
Anton Marik
