Pierre Gaultier and the birth of opera in Marseille On-site
Alessandra FranceAuditorium du Musée d'histoire de la Ville de Marseille, 2 rue Henri Barbusse, 13001 Marseille
In 1685, Pierre Gaultier obtained Lully's permission to open the very first provincial opera house. From then on, opera became a Marseilles institution, central to the musical and cultural life of an entire region. Based on instrumental works by Gaultier, Concerto Soave has built a program around French opera of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Lully is obviously present, but also Campra and Mouret, immense opera composers born in our region.
