About
Actéon (1684)
Music by Marc-Antoine Charpentier
Ryan Brown, conductor
Seán Curran, director

Charpentier's opéra de chasse Actéon, a compelling work of French classicism in one act, comes to life in a semi-staged production directed by the modern choreographer Seán Curran. The story is an allegory of transgression and transformation in which an ideal pastoral setting becomes a landscape of loss, told through exquisitely beautiful solos and choruses by a cast of seven vocalists and chamber ensemble.

Performed in French with English supertitles.
