November 9th will mark the 250th anniversary of Zémire et Azor’s premiere, at the court of Louis XV. This ravishing opera, very rarely recorded, is inspired by the tale The Beauty and the Beast: the young Zémire must be kept as a hostage in the palace of the beast-like Azor to save her father, but finally falls in love with what reveals itself to be a handsome prince. The score of Belgian composer Grétry is performed by a local cast joined by the outstanding Mady Mesplé, whose incredible vocalizations in the Warbler Aria won’t leave you indifferent!
