A true Baroque dream: a performance of Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s masterpiece David et Jonathas, one of the wonders of French Baroque opera, can be experienced here in the Palace Chapel of Versailles, and as a CD recording and DVD production! in 1688, this dramatic version of the fateful love between David and Jonathan was first heard at the Jesuit school Louis-le-Grand. The intense emotions of the piece can be experienced even more intensely on the DVD through the staging, the stage design and the costumes under the rousing direction of Gaétan Jarry.
