Hippolyte et Aricie was Rameau's first work for the stage, written when he was nearly 50. It is also Glyndebourne's first production of an opera by Rameau, who in many ways defined 18th century French music. This opera will strike audiences, as it did in Paris in 1733, with its richness of invention.
