Baroque Northwest presents Charpentier's Les Arts Florissants
Music, Politics, & Intrigue: Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Les Arts Florissants
Our 97-98 season finale: a staged production of a sublime opera about the arts and their relationship to the people and government of any century. The ARTS versus the Government . . . good guys versus bad guys;
begging for recognition & money; expression versus control; overcoming the odds. Sound familiar? Join us as these timeless themes connect the past with
the present in our production of a staged BAROQUE OPERA.
What else can we say? Ultimately, music conquers all.
