Le Concert Spirituel

Opéra Royal

Everything you shouldn't do at the opera: and they did it!

A true pearl of the Baroque by Henry Purcell, with its plot rich in twists and its colorful characters, King Arthurhas enjoyed considerable success since its first performance in 1690. But here it is in a new light: without cutting a note of music or a word from the text, the infernal trio Niquet, Shirley & Dino undertake to explain in their own way this bizarre English story, where knights and monks pass illico delights from the table to the tremors of the cold! The music is brilliantly served by the troops of Hervé Niquet, one of the masters of this repertoire at the head of the Concert Spirituel. And for the rest: bring with you those who never go to the opera, adults and children: they won't miss a crumb of this caustic and exciting evening which has thrilled the public every time, forever conquered!
