Opéra Royal

Jean-Baptiste Lully, the founder of lyric tragedy, dedicated one of his most flamboyant masterpieces to the sun king himself - Louis XIV. Phaeton tells the story of the gallant driver of the Sun's chariot, dominating the celestial dome with his daily race across the sky. But excess and indulgence result in the young god's downfall.
