Not only did we program unheralded but worthy French operas--from Gluck's Iphigenie en Aulide to Pascal Dusapin's contemporary To Be Sung--we also gained a specific reputation for putting on such opera comique jewels as Herold's Zampa and Bizet's Djamileh.
On the other hand, Bizet's Djamileh is Alden at his most coherent as the emotionally desensitised Haroun and his current slave-of-the-month Djamileh realise their mutually practical love arrangement has turned into the real thing.
As erotically charged as his sultry Spanish masterpiece, Djamileh (the name of its heroine and derived from the Arabic word for lovely) is a twisted romance about love and sex.
