The world of César Franck (1822-90)

Lancelot

Drame lyrique in four acts and six tableaux by Victorin Joncières on a libretto by Louis Gallet and Léon Blau, premiered on 7 February 1900 at the Académie Nationale de Musique (Paris)

Opera

With Lancelot, his last opera, Victorin Joncières presented a synthesis of his creative trajectory, combining assimilation of early Wagner and respect for the French operatic tradition. Passion and honour intertwine in this drama of knighthood.
