Groupe de Recherche

Les Métamorphoses de l'opéra français,
since its emergence in the XVIIth century, are numerous and varied.
Beyond the model established by Quinault and Lully which remains a constant reference,
the creative forms explored by their followers have kept on questioning and renewing 
the dramaturgical balance between the elements of the lyrical drama.

Art of synthesis, French opera can not been looked at from single point of view.
Therefore, the members of the Groupe de recherche of Académie Desprez
question the works in their literary, musical and stage elements.

Until the French Revolution, the French model, through its successive forms, has been influencing all Europe. 
The diversity of its effects, in space and time, allows us to understand better its essential components.

Initiated by an investigation about the Théâtre des Enchantements,
the name that Cahusac gave to the "total theatre" project that he developed with Rameau,
the programme « Les Métamorphoses de l'opéra français » explores, questions
and aims at discovering the numerous aspects of French aesthetics.
