Shipping time: In stock | Free shipping within the US
"Victorin Joncières (1839-1903) is the epitome of the Romantic artist who relentlessly overcame the barriers set in his path. He never composed commercial music; he never held an academic or official position. Dimitri, his 1876 masterpiece, reminds us that he was a Gounod contemporary and Wagner champion. This opera carries on the tradition (begun by Meyerbeer) of spectacular, monumental works.
