Here are the Oriental Turqueries galantes of the Opera Comique, where the lovers are captured by Corsairs and held as prisoners: the Harem for the Belle and the galleys for her knight.... These enslaved Christians captivated the artistic imagination, which mixed the Thousand and One Nights and slave traders in amorous intrigues where the Sultan is deceived in his Seraglio! The young soprano Florie Valiquette embodies these captive heroines, marked by love, despair and courage, while Gaetan Jarry offers the Orchestre de l'Opera Royal the bright colours and frenzied rhythms of Oriental fantasy, from Gretry to Mozart!
