Info for Thomas: La Cour de Célimène

"OK, so this is never going to be a staple of the repertoire and that is part of its attraction on disc. Thomas's rarer-than-rare opera, about a woman who seems to enjoy tormenting her multiple suitors, is an outmoded comedy of manners. But it also features a sparkling score and is very ably performed by soprano Laura Claycomb and bass Alastair Miles in particular. Frothy fun." (Gramophone)
