About
A glorification of Louis XIV, Atys was such a success in 1676 that it became "the opera of the Sun King".Three centuries later its unforgettable revival directed by Jean-Marie Villégier toured the world in a record 80 performances. Conductor and harpsichordist William Christie has been conducting the first production of Purcell's Fairy Queen, at Glyndebourne Festival and returns to the Barbican this Autumn as part of the Great Performers Series with his acclaimed period instrument ensemble Les Arts Florissants to celebrate the music of the Baroque.
