Pierre-Alexandre MONSIGNY (1729–1817) Le Roi et le fermier (The King and the Farmer) A comic opera in three acts.
Le Roi et le fermier made Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny famous in France and beyond. Set in an evocative and at times stormy Sherwood Forest it tells of a King’s encounter with a humble farmer, blending comedy with serious issues. Its numerous innovations foreshadow Romanticism, making it a milestone in operatic history, with librettist Michel-Jean Sedaine admiring Monsigny’s daring in taking “the risk of setting a new genre to music”. “This production should be noted and remembered in the annals of Versailles, for the
intelligence of its staging, the beauty of its sets, and its high musical quality.” (Opéra Magazine) Ryan Brown is the founder, conductor, and artistic director of Opera Lafayette. Through his work with Opera Lafayette, he has gained an international reputation for his
interpretations of French opera, and in particular for his rôle in the revival of works from the eighteenth century.
