Approved

The Destiny of the New Centuryis a score by Campra unpublished since the 18th century. This opera-ballet, created in 1700 at the Collège Louis-le-Grand, was to serve as an interlude to a Latin tragedy, and was intended to be premonitory of the Century which was opening in France, of which Louis XIV had been King for… fifty-seven years! It stages a dialogue between peoples in favor of War or Peace, each party being supported and encouraged by a god, Mars or Vulcan, or by the very allegory of Peace. Saturn, as the presiding God of time, is preparing to give the world a new century. He invites the Fates to settle its destiny at the will of the people, but some want to start a war that lasts forever, while others make the name of Peace resound everywhere ... When we know that from the end of 1700,

The splendid (and unknown!) Music of Campra, composed just after L'Europe Galante (1697) and Le Carnaval de Venise (1699), and shortly before Tancrède (1702) - all masterpieces - presents a balanced alternation short stories, solo arias, dances, choirs and double choirs, magnificent from start to finish, that the exceptional team brought together by Patrick Bismuth finally returns to the public!
