About the event
A tragedy about impossible love and dangerous obsession makes its first COC appearance in 30 years in a new production from Alain Gauthier.
This rare operatic gem from one of French opera’s great composers tells the story of a young man’s romantic infatuation and the spiral of despair that consumes him when that love is denied. Massenet’s sumptuous score delves into the tortured passions of a young mind while shining a light on the social conventions he rejects, as well as those whose lives are forever altered by his desperate final act.
