Drama, History, Music

Giacomo Meyerbeer's grand opera live at the Opéra Bastille, Paris on October 4th, 2018

Les Huguenots is a monumental fresco featuring various impossible loves in the context of the Saint Bartholomew Massacre. Andreas Kriegenburg places these timeless conflicts of love and religion in an immaculate setting in which the costumes appear yet more flamboyant and the victims’ blood more violently red.
