And Wagner added: 'It is in La Reine de Chypre that Halévy's new style has appeared with the most brilliance and success.' So several voices - and those by no means insignificant - have declared this work, written six years after La Juive, to be it's composer's masterpiece. Premiered on 22 December 1841, Halévy's opera offered the limelight to Rosine Stoltz in the title role: she was the only woman in the cast, for it had been found preferable to isolate her, following her incessant disputes with the other female singers in the company. Alongside her, the tenor Gilbert Duprez shone in the role of Gérard. The story takes the spectator on a voyage from the palaces of Venice to those of Cyprus. But despite an initial success confirmed by several translations and adaptations that appeared shortly after the first run (notably Lachner's Caterina Cornaro in 1841 and Donizetti's in 1843), the work gradually vanished from European opera houses. This new recording from the Flemish Radio Choir and the Orchestre de chamber de Paris, alongside a star-studded list of soloists, allows the work to have a new life in a new century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
