Philidor: Ernelinde, princesse de Norvège

Torn between her love for the King of Denmark, Sandomir, and her duty to her father, Rodoald, King of Norway, Princess Ernelinde finds herself caught up in a political whirlwind in the heart of medieval Scandinavia. Beyond the exotic setting of this lyrical tragedy, the boldness of Philidor's composition reflects an unprecedented modernity, paving the way for Gluck's reforms. Under the passionate direction of Martin Wåhlberg, the Orkester Nord and the Chantres du Centre de musique baroque de Versailles bring this forgotten opera back to life!
