Le Loup-garou

The Last Sorcerer

Approved

Now almost totally unknown, Le Loup-garou (The Werewolf) was performed at the Opera Comique when the composer Louise Bertin was aged just twenty-two. Although an anonymous review at the time stated that the work was good “for a woman,” Bertin has all been but forgotten as a composer and the opera performed only a handful of times since.

We will be performing Le Loup-garou alongside Le dernier sorcier (The Last Sorcerer), written in 1867 by considerably better-known composer and singer Pauline Viardot to a libretto by Ivan Turgenev. Unheard in the UK before now, this opera tells the tale of a bad-tempered sorcerer, the target of teasing by the elves in the forest, and his daughter, who has fallen in love with a young prince.

United by their supernatural, fairy-tale like themes and their light-hearted but subtly sinister character, these two neglected operas will challenge you to experience something brand new this Halloween. Performed with chamber orchestra.
