Torn between her love for the Danish king Sandomir and her duty to her father Rodoald, king of Norway, princess Ernelinde becomes entangled in a political maelstrom in the heart of medieval Scandinavia. Beyond the exotic setting of this lyrical tragedy, the boldness of Philidor's composition reflects an unprecedented modernity and paved the way for Gluck's reforms. Under the passionate direction of Martin Wåhlberg, Orkester Nord and the Chantres du Centre de musique baroque de Versailles bring this forgotten opera back to life!
