The soprano Minette was one of the great stars of theatrical life in colonial Saint-Domingue in the 1780s. But unlike almost all the actors and actresses of the time, she was a woman of African descent.
Soprano Ariana Wehr joins musicians of Opera Lafayette to present music from the operas of Gluck, Gretry, and others (which Minette performed in the years leading up to the Haitian Revolution), as well as music from the Chevalier de Saint-George.
Ariana is excited to make her house and role(s) debut with Opera Lafayette singing the roles of La Marseillaise, Dorine, and Polymnie in Mouret’s Les Fêtes de Thalie.
Mouret’s spirited opéra-ballet, Les Fêtes de Thalie, looks at love through the eyes of three women in these delightful vignettes: La Fille (The Girl), La Veuve Coquette (The Coquettish Widow) and La Femme (The Wife).
