Les Troyens is a long opera, but the Royal Opera create a fantastic atmosphere of movement and sound. The arias by the leads, are very emotive and moving, and the back up by the chorus allows the opera to flow smoothly and skilfully between acts. A great experience you will wan to see again and again.
Recorded live from the Royal Opera House, June 2012

**Hector Berlioz: Les Troyens Review***
“Les Troyens is a tour de force that ranges from fiery military marches to
intense choruses, passionate soliloquies and the lyrical love duets of Dido and
Aeneas. For Hector Berlioz, librettist and composer, the opera became the work
of decades and the passion of a lifetime, the culmination of his literary love
affair with Virgil's Aeneid and with two tragic heroines, Cassandra and Dido.
David McVicar's staging is on an enormous scale, assembling one of the largest
casts ever seen at Covent Garden. The sweeping theme of the rise and fall of
empires runs throughout Les Troyens, along with moving meditations on love and
honor. ‘David McVicar's stupendous production would be worth seeing for Es
Devlin's mighty sets and Constructivist Trojan horse alone.’ – The Wall
Street Journal ‘Musically the show is top-notch … A fabulous
evening.’” -The Independent
