Amid this love triangle, in which the schemes of the celestial gods—including Venus, the goddess of love, and Juno, the guardian of chastity—become entangled, Hercules, clad in a cursed wedding garment, dies in agony...\n\nFrom the Opéra-Comique in Paris—which has garnered attention for its many intriguing revival projects—comes the opera *Heracles in Love* by Cavalli, a prominent disciple of Monteverdi, the founder of Italian Baroque opera, who enjoyed immense popularity in the mid-17th century. This work was created as a spectacular celebratory drama—in which the human world and the gods of the heavens intertwine—to commemorate the marriage of Louis XIV, the Sun King of France, and Maria Theresa of Spain, with Louis XIV personified as the hero Hercules. Featuring a succession of dazzling arias, choruses, and ballets, this production—with its pop-inspired, kitschy set design, stage mechanics, and costumes (including full-body suits) by Valérie Le Sueur and Christian Ek—has been crafted into a visually stunning spectacle that stays true to the original concept. The title role is sung by Nahuél Di Piero, Juno by Anna Bonitativs, and the role of Ricus, Deianira’s servant, by veteran Dominique Vis as Ricus, Deianira’s servant. Their performances are superbly supported by the youthful and dynamic playing of Ensemble Pygmalion, led by Baroque opera expert Raphaël Pichon.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595649736993,"sku":"4589538763756","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538763756.jpg?v=1790482121","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538763756","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
