Passion, treason and forgiveness characterise this reinterpretation of the Arthurian myth. Written and composed by Ernest Chausson, Le roi Arthus premiered in Brussels in 1903. Chausson’s three act opera, strongly influenced by Wagner as well as his master César Franck, narrates the struggle between King Arthur and Lancelot for the love of Guinevere, wife to the King and mistress of the famous knight. This passionate -albeit tragic- love triangle continues to move and delight audiences around the world.
