Actéon

By Marc-Antoine Charpentier

Performed by the Peabody Chamber Opera and the Peabody Historical Performance Ensemble

Composed in 1684, Actéon is Charpentier’s lyrical retelling of the Greek myth. While hunting, Actéon unexpectedly discovers the goddess Diana and her attendants bathing in a secluded woodland spring. Angered by the intrusion, Diana transforms him into a stag, and he is ultimately hunted down by his own hounds.
