Gluck's \"Armide\", which was successfully premiered in Paris in 1777, is the third opera the composer wrote for the Académie Royale de Musique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beautiful sorceress Armide holds the crusader Renaud captive on her island. After the brave hero is initially unimpressed by Armide's charms, the two eventually fall in love. Only when Renaud is reminded by the other knights of his crusading vows does he abandon the desperate Armide, whereupon she curses the faithless one, destroys her enchanted castle and vanishes on a winged chariot. Intimate monologues alternate with large choral and ballet scenes. The characterisation of the individuals is musically finely differentiated. in stark contrast to the pastoral moments are the sudden dramatic entries of the supernatural, for example the appearance of personified hatred and the spirits from hell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsemble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVorwort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePréface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex of scenes and numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThird Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFourth Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFifth Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bärenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46839665655996,"sku":"BA5846-90","price":95.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/2823\/8524\/files\/0a0ddb721cb1b2ebf7da770ae5f7d649_d35c695e-fd7c-4d79-af10-8257fd2fe029.jpg?v=1779190322","url":"https:\/\/www.barenreiter.us\/fr\/products\/gluck-armide-barenreiter","provider":"Barenreiter US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
