Ep. 122 Zoroastre by Jean-Philippe Rameau
Manage episode 440941797 series 1549581
It’s a battle for the fate of the universe as the Dark Side plots, schemes, and fights to gain dominance over the Light Side.
Though this opera predates Mozart’s The Magic Flute by several decades, you may find echoes here of Mozart’s beloved work, as it is also heavily influenced by the ideals of the Enlightenment and the principles of Freemasonry. Jean-Philippe Rameau was the pre-eminent French composer of his day, and close with thinkers such as Voltaire. Rameau’s librettist for Zoroastre, Louis de Cahusac, was the secretary for the Grand Master of the Freemasonry’s Grand Lodge in Paris.
Join Pat and Grant for a deep dive into this grand, mythical story’s cosmic stakes and spiritual resonances.
