Les Boréades

Directed by Thomas Grimm

With Barbara Bonney, Paul Agnew, Nicolas Rivenq, Anna Maria Panzarella and Nancy Crowley

Director Robert Carsen and his creative team flood the stage with summer blossoms, drifts of autumn leaves, winter snows and thunderous spring storms. The cast of 140 are attired in elegant costumes inspired by late 1940s Dior. This mythical tale of a young queen, Alphise, determined to abdicate rather than contemplate an enforced marriage to a descendant of Boreas, is nothing less than highly-charged.
