Events Description
Opera Atelier marks its 40th year with the Toronto premiere of the company’s internationally acclaimed production of Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s French Baroque masterpiece, David and Jonathan.
The production’s Toronto premiere, fully staged and choreographed by Opera Atelier Co-Artistic Directors Marshall Pynkoski and Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg, follows critically acclaimed stagings at the Royal Chapel in Versailles and the Potsdam Music Festival in Germany. The biblically-inspired opera will be sung in French and explores the explosive relationship between Saul, the King of Israel, his son Jonathan, and David, the young hero and slayer of Goliath.
Recognized as one of the most profound psychological dramas of 17th-century French lyric theatre, David and Jonathan will feature a cast of Opera Atelier audience favourites, joined by two of the principal soloists from the original Versailles production. French baritone David Witczak, one of France’s most important interpreters of French Baroque repertoire, will make his North American debut singing the role of Saul, and tenor Antonin Rondepierre will sing the role of the villain Joabel.
