Gabriel Bacquier

Some composers, like Paul Dukas, are best known for one or two specific works, and on this week’s Sunday Opera (2/22 3:00 p.m.), we’re going to change that when we look at his only surviving opera “Ariane et Barbe-Bleue.” The extremely self-deprecating Dukas destroyed his other three operas, so we’re lucky to have this delightful version of the Charles Perrault fairytale.
