The lavish 1987 staging of Lully’s tragédie lyrique by Christie and director Jean-Marie Villégier at the Paris Opera made history, eventually appearing on three continents and proving that French Baroque opera could be popular enough to attract ticket scalpers. Now Christie has announced that, thanks to the support of an unnamed American patron, the production will be revived in 2010 at Paris’s Opéra-Comique. (No word yet of a U.S. run.)
