William Christie is the founder of Les Arts Florissants. He returns to the profession with one of his flagship titles: “Médée’, by Charpentier.
His ensemble and a host of young singers, including Léa Desandre as Médée and Reinoud Van Mechelen as Jason, will perform in a new production by David McVicar. “French arrogance is a melody I love,” he says. ‘I’m a Frenchman. I love France.’
