Richard The Lionheart
© Agathe Poupeney
To celebrate the Royal Opera of Versailles' 250th anniversary, here is the return to the stage of Grétry's Richard The Lionheart (1784), the most famous 18th-century French opéra comique in Europe for a century... disappeared from the stages for decades! Hervé Niquet and Marshall Pynkoski are working on this doubly historic task. This "anniversary" project voluntarily puts the action back into the reign of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, to whom the heroes of Grétry's opera were easily identified at the time: he was also familiar with the Royal Opera since the performance of Céphale Et Procris in 1773.
