Grétry: O Richard, o mon roi

[@gittafekete3422]

Csodás hang ..

[@philippep4983]

Cet air fut chanté par les gardes du corps lors du banquet du 1er octobre 1789 ...ce qui fut le prétexte de la marche des femmes de Paris sur Versailles le 5 octobre suivant !

Gyönyörű gratulálok ...

[@micksherman7709]

This is the anthem of people who know they've already lost.

[@bobmorane4463]

Could you, please, explain?

[@lyricodingo9003]

Rare et bonne interprétation, qui a l'époque faisait penser au roi martyr Louis XVI (a chanter chaque 21 janvier)

Una hermosa aria. Supongo que Blondel se dirige a su amado rey...

[@shirleyanne6573]

Is a public performance of this still an issue in France?

[@bengarst4937]

I don't think so...the Versailles opera (of all places) put on the Choeur d'leon a few years back.

No great shakes, nothing to lose your head over.

Good aria but an absurd legend! How could Blondel travel around singing a song outside prisons in the hope King Richard would sing it back to him? I'm playing the King in an Oxford Xmas pantomime (generally family show based on a fairy-tale or myth). It might contain a bit of mime (meaning of word) but no longer the mime with Commedia Dell'Arte characters from Victorian times. My character is rather a good-natured despot! In real life he & his brother John (Lackland for losing land in France) born is Oxford, spent little time in England.
