Overview

Fall under the spell of Grétry’s Zemira & Azor, a sparkling 18th-century comedy of Beauty and the Beast, revived with Niccolò Jommelli’s music in a fresh English translation. Follow Zemira’s courageous journey as she confronts the monstrous Azor in this rare Mannheim edition, semi-staged with a live chamber orchestra. Experience a summer of true enchantment.Step into the magical world of Zemira & Azor, Grétry’s 18th-century comedy inspired by the timeless Beauty and the Beast. This rare Mannheim edition, enriched with Niccolò Jommelli’s added music, unfolds in a sparkling new English translation, performed semi-staged and costumed alongside a live chamber orchestra. In an enchanted castle, the virtuous Zemira sacrifices her freedom to save her father and encounters the fearsome Azor—a once-noble figure trapped in a beastly form by a malevolent fairy’s curse. Through wit, sparkling arias, and stirring ensembles, Zemira’s compassion and courage begin to unravel the spell, revealing the noble dignity beneath Azor’s monstrous exterior. With sumptuous period costumes, witty comedy, and moments of poignant intimacy, this production captures the heart and humor at the core of Grétry’s masterpiece. Prepare to be swept away by an opera where love’s simple truth conquers the most formidable enchantment.
