Ovid's metamorphosis set to masterful music

Sculptor Pygmalion literally creates his dream girl. He sculpts a beautiful woman, falls in love with her and brings her to life. Like no other, Reinoud Van Mechelen makes the French finesse of Rameau's masterpiece shine. Together with a nocte temporis and the Chœur de Chambre de Namur, he also reveals a little known gem: Iso's ballet Zémide, in which a heartless queen is ultimately won over by the eloquence of love.
