About

Sir John Eliot Gardiner conducts the Monteverdi Choir, Choeur du Théâtre du Châtelet and Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique in a landmark recording of Berlioz's towering opera. A tragic tale of love and fate, war and peace and the intertwined destinies of two cities, the opera is based on Virgil's imperial vision of the founding myth of Rome.

The American tenor Gregory Kunde as Aeneas and the Italian mezzosoprano Anna Caterina Antonacci lead an international cast in this stunning production.
