With Proserpine, Lully took lyric tragedy further than it had ever gone before, in particular by giving the orchestra the leading role, that of drama and passion. Proserpine also marks a reunion between the composer and his brilliant librettist Quinault, after the scandal caused by Isis, in which Madame de Montespan was apparently all too recognisable as a jealous Juno… Surrounded by an all-star cast, led by Véronique Gens and Marie Lys, Christophe Rousset is about to bring his complete Lully repertoire to a brilliant close.
