Le Roi d’Ys
Opera in three acts and five tableaux, first performed at the Opéra-Comique (salle du Théâtre-Lyrique) on 7 May 1888.
Opera
Édouard Lalo was long excluded from the operatic stage, and had to wait until he was sixty-five for a chance to shine there. But his first venture proved to be a success: Le Roi d’Ys was immediately hailed as a masterpiece. Set in medieval Brittany, the opera recounts the last hours of the legendary city of Ys.
