Talestri, Queen of the Amazons stages the war between men and women, among the Amazons who have sworn the death of men after having suffered their vicissitudes, until love interferes, in the very heart of their Queen, and that the virtue and courage of the Scythian prince and his companion do not encourage them to change their laws….

This character of Talestri (Thalestris in French), rational and benevolent queen, could look a lot like Marie-Antoinette of Bavaria.
The libretto is original and daring because the composers were usually restricted to the “decent” repertoire but lacked pastorelles, especially since it was the composer herself who took the pen (and also offered her libretto to the composer Ferrandini who pulled another opera).
In 17th and 18th century operas on the subject of Amazons, written by men, these warriors are always seen from the male point of view as enemies to be conquered or destroyed, who lose their power by marrying.
Here, Maria-Antonia Walpurgis, who worked with her husband on political reforms, shows us the opera from the perspective of women, especially Talestri, who asserts herself as queen and does not lose her power by marrying after having abolished the extreme laws of his kingdom to achieve the reconciliation of the two enemy peoples.

The music, which marks the switch between baroque and classical, has a remarkable liveliness and dramatic meaning, with numerous tales accompanied by the orchestra and poignant arias.

Bérénice Collet will stage this “war of the sexes”, with in addition to loving couples, a beautiful role of the high priestess, who will have to do a work of forgiveness for the offenses she has suffered in order to welcome her missing son.
