Rebirth of an almost forgotten treasure: After only nine performances in 1895 and 1896, Frédégonde was forgotten for over a century. Even the creation was complicated. When Ernest Guiraud died in 1892, only the first three acts of  Frédégonde  were available, the rest composed by Guiraud's companion and friend Camille Saint-Saëns. His personal style, based on romantic harmonies and classical forms, makes  this opera a unique testimony to the musical diversity of the late 19th century, in the long shadow of Richard Wagner. – Theater Dortmund stages the Merovingian historical drama about love, power and revenge in an exciting combination of stage performance and silent film. The German premiere live and exclusively at takt1.

Frédégonde (Teaser #2) – Dortmund Opera

It's a family feud - escalating into a civil war. Brunhilda competes against Hilpéric, her brother-in-law. The target of their attack, however, is the woman at his side, Frédégonde. After Hilpéric overwhelms his sister-in-law with a surprise attack, his son Mérowig is supposed to banish her to a shielded monastery. But Mérowig is so enchanted by her that he disobeys his father's orders...

When Ernest Guiraud died in 1892, only the first three acts of Frédégonde were available, the rest was composed by Guiraud's companion and friend Camille Saint-Saëns. His personal style, based on romantic harmonies and classical forms, makes Frédégonde a unique testament to the musical diversity of the late 19th century.
In the implementation for the Dortmund Opera, the audience follows the two queens as they look back on their eventful lives. A fascinating mix of live experience on stage and silent film brings the Merovingian era back to life.
