New production Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci – Les Talens Lyriques.
This production of the Amazons in the Fortunate Isles is produced under license from Ars Minerva Inc. and Ars Minerva Inc Reserves all rights in such.
“It’s a completely Venetian work, in its colours, intimacy, blood, drama, sex, love, and power. It’s certainly a rarity that has not been performed in Europe since the seventeenth century. I’m very happy to return to the Potsdam festival for this project, where for the first time I’ll collaborate with Nicola Raab, who will direct the staging.”
– Christophe Rousset
