Bard SummerScape Presents
Henri VIII
6:30 pm – 7:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
“Botstein, and his annual opera production at Bard, seem more invaluable by the year.”—New York Times
“An excellent production by Jean-Romain Vesperini that presents the action lucidly and engrossingly.”—Financial Times
Henri VIII is French grand opera at its most magnificent. In this love triangle for the ages, an infamous Tudor king is determined to divorce Catherine of Aragon in favor of the ambitious, beautiful Anne Boleyn. Saint-Saëns’s exquisite vocal passages and rich orchestration bring this rarely performed masterpiece to vivid life in this “grand and compelling” (New York Times) new production.
Sung in French with English supertitles.
This production has received support from the National Endowment for the Arts and Villa Albertine.
