Capriccio

About the show

At a château near Paris around 1775, poet Olivier and composer Flamand debate whether words or music make the greater art. Both love Countess Madeleine, who cannot choose between them. The theatre director La Roche defends the stage, while the guests discuss their arts and the Count suggests making an opera from the events of the day. Left alone that evening, Madeleine remains uncertain about the opera’s ending and her choice of lover.
