Throughout the season

La Terre promise

Biblical oratorio in three parts by Jules Massenet, on a libretto by the composer, premiered at the Church of Saint-Eustache on 15 March 1900.
Symphonic Music
“No unnecessary refinements; a single theme running through it, undulating in twelve-eight, symbolising the sweet peace of the promised land; a simplicity of means ever present, yet a fascinating work, admirably suited to the vast proportions of St Eustache, for which it was written.” (L’Éclair, 20 March 1900.)
