Sébastien d'Hérin, Les Nouveaux Caractères
Desmarest was something of a frustrated genius. A precocious musician, he had a great career in opera from 1693 to 1698. His destiny was broken when he kidnapped the love of his life and fled to Brussels to escape a death sentence. Kapellmeister to the King of Spain, Philippe V in 1701, then to the Duke of Lorraine, Paris remained off-limits to him until 1720... Circe (1694) was his apotheosis, the meeting of Ulysses and the sorceress, a superb and supernatural heroine. The dramatic force of the work is a stimulus for the flamboyant Veronique Gens who plays the evil lover!
