Sung in French Subtitles ITA-ENG-TED-FRA-SPA Inspired by a Breton legend, Le Roi d’Ys contains all the ingredients of a fine romantic tale: love, jealousy, fear and a touch of magic. The story is well supported by music that is effective, full of colour and contrasts, with wonderful airs and duets, and a splendid overture. Patrick Davin conducts; Jean-Louis Pichon’s creative staging includes special effects worthy of the seventh art. Giuseppina Piunti (Margared) has appeared on the most important stages in Europe and North America; Sébastien Guèze (Rozenn) enthused the audiences in Valencia during the finals of the Operalia competition.
