William Christie and Les Arts Florissants propel this exuberant production of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s second opera to great heights. Andrei Serban’s extravagant, highly baroque staging presents the four exotic love stories in a fantastic operatic spectacle. In Le Turc généreux Osman sets free his captive, Emilie, whom he loves, so that she may be reunited with her former lover, Valère; Les Incas de Perou is all about the rivalry of the Inca Huascar and the Spaniard Don Carlos, both in pursuit of Princess Phani; Les Fleurs offers a Persian love intrigue, as the Sultana Fatima tries to detect whether her husband Tacmas has his eye on the lovely Atalide; and Les Sauvages takes us to North America, where a Spaniard and a Frenchman compete for the love of Zima, daughter of a native chief, who prefers one of her own people.
