La Naissance d'Osiris

St. John’s College Waterfront

Jean-Philippe Rameau's 'La Naissance d'Osiris' is a one-act opera depicting Jupiter's announcement of the birth of the god Osiris to a group of Egyptian priests and shepherds.

This pastoral opera is full of wonderful passages for singers, dancers and actors. Its short length and spirited music makes it ideal for the busy festivities of May Week, with the opera's setting complemented by the beautiful surroundings of St John's Waterfront.
