Médée, fille des Enfers

Eugénie Lefebvre, artistic director and soprano

For her first solo album, Eugénie Lefebvre invites you into the lair of Medea, a tragic figure par excellence, through her lyrical and theatrical transformations.

Medea, the sorceress. Evil and in love, distraught and fearless. Until she commits the unspeakable. Mythical and so intensely human, she has been pouring out ink stained with the blood and tears of her crimes for centuries, even millennia.

That of dramatic poets, from Antiquity to the last century, and that of Baroque composers, whose music gives flesh, through song, to her fury and despair.

To music by Colasse, Kusser, Cavalli, Steffani, Salomon.

Texts taken from Rhodes, Corneille, Anouilh, Euripides.
