A French poet, Leconte de Lisle stands as a crystallization of the Parnassian movement. His verse is known for its clarity, sonority, and classical precision, imbued with exotic color and historical depth. He portrays the world as a 'glorious blunder,' and his poetry, while containing a fervent core, often appears marble-like in its cultivated coolness. His work reflects a contemplative, often scornful stance, accepting existence with a defiant austerity while yearning for the ultimate repose of death, free from the constraints of time and earthly troubles.
Orestes Les Érinnyes is a two-part drama that explores the complex Greek myth of Orestes and his pursuit for revenge against his mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus for the murder of his father, King Agamemnon. Written by Jules Massenet and based on the play by Leconte de Lisle, this work features stunning music and powerful performances that bring this timeless story to life.
