Author(s):
Music by Jean-Philippe Rameau, libretto by Louis Fuzelier

Grange Park Opera
A new staging of Rameau’sLes Indes galantes combines 18th century music with contemporary street dance styles in an exploration of identity, culture and expression.
Co-conceived by director-choreographer and French hip hop pioneer Bintou Dembélé and conductor Leonardo García-Alarcón, the performance features their respective ensembles: the dancers of Structure Rualité, Namur Chamber Choir and period orchestra Cappella Mediterranea, all making their UK opera debuts.
The production will also feature leading Baroque soloists Gwendoline Blondeel, Ana Quintans, Antonin Rondepierre and Andreas Wolf.
