Le Duc d'Albe

Le Duc d’Albe takes place at the start of the rebellion against Spanish rule. The Spanish dominate public life in Brussels and the Duke of Alba has just had Count of Egmont executed. Daughter Hélène wants to avenge her father and joins the rebellion, where she receives the support of her lover: the young Henri de Bruges. But he unwittingly turns out to be Alba's son... Donizetti composed Le Duc d’Albe for the Opera of Paris, but never finished it. Now, in 2012, Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli has finished it. An old opera with a new end result! And this opera production will also be boosted by the fact that the costumes will be designed by renowned Belgian fashion duo A.F. Vandevorst.

World creation of the original French version.
