Presentation

Opera-ballet in three acts to a libretto by Étienne Morel de Chédeville, first performed at the Théâtre royal de Fontainebleau in 1783.

New production

Watch out the resurrection of a masterpiece!

La Caravane du Caire was a triumph when it was first performed in 1783 and continued to resonate through the ranks of Napoleon's army with the chorus "La Victoire est à nous! Grétry's colourful piece, with its patriotic accents, is a true hymn to France: in the sands of Egypt, the "brave Frenchman" Saint-Phar tries to free his beloved Zélime from the slave trader who is going to sell her to the Pacha, the true ogre in the fable! Grétry's dazzling music constantly scores in this stylish entertainment! The crazy situations and ballets highlight a sparkling cast, a veritable gallery of characters carried off to a music-hall Orient by the winning duo behind Richard the Lionheart by the same Grétry: Marshall Pynkoski and Hervé Niquet!
