UK Premiere of Les Génies ou les Caractères de l’Amour opera by Mlle Duval (1736) with the BREMF Players, Ensemble Molière and the Baroque Collective Singers

Mademoiselle Duval’s opera, Les Génies ou les Caractères de l’Amour, premiered at the Paris Opera in 1736 with Duval herself at the harpsichord. Although the opera captivated audiences, only some of her music survives.

In this concert performance, her opera makes its UK premiere in a bespoke reconstruction by Satoko Doi-Luck as we bring you the excitement and splendour of Enlightenment Paris.
