Interview with William Christie - Titon et L'Aurore

A splendid music that does not leave a moment of respite, a raging conductor for this work full of colors and twists, the Apollonian signature of Mondonville, the sparkling staging of Basil Twist and his puppets of all sizes, nothing is missing to this production to widen your eyes and dazzle your ears!

This 1753 opera-ballet is an absolute success in the funny and poetic vision of the director, carried by a flourishing cast and the verve of Mondonville transfigured by William Christie at the head of his musical troupes. Protected by Madame de Pompadour, Mondonville crowned for his irresistible Grands Motets is at the peak of his art: he summons here the splendor of French opera, the incredible colors of his orchestration at Rameau, and the pearls of the Italian style, to charm at the highest point. Here is a masterpiece of lightness, elegance and expressiveness, where the voices and the orchestra constantly compete for invention and surprises, for a musical nugget more catchy than ever! Mondonville, gifted in music and incorrigible seducer,
