Stéphane Denève is universally acclaimed for his interpretation of French repertoire.
"Charbonnet offers limited variety of tone, but she stands up remarkably well to the role's non-stop demands. As her nurse, Patricia Bardon is admirable in a role she has rather made her own on stage and CD...Dukas's opera deserves to be heard." Gramophone Magazine, April 2013
Ariane et Barbe-bleue makes its premiere on Blu-ray.
Stéphane Denève is universally acclaimed for his interpretation of French repertoire.
This is the twelfth release from the Liceu-Opus Arte partnership.
Dukas's opera Ariane et Barbe-bleue, based on Maeterlinck's symbolist version of the classic tale, sees free spirit Ariane become the sixth wife of the infamous Barbe-bleue, who gives his new bride seven keys to seven doors, but prohibits the use of the last. Ariane discovers an array of glittering jewels behind the first six doors, but a terrifying reality awaits her as she unlocks the seventh.
José van Dam is cast as the villainous Barbe-bleue, while taking on the immensely demanding role of Ariane - who does not leave the stage throughout the entire opera - is American soprano Jeanne-Michèle Charbonnet.
