About this title

Synopsis

Miraculeusement sauv� du massacre o� les siens ont p�ri, le jeune Joas est secr�tement recueilli puis �lev� par le grand pr�tre Joad et par sa femme. Pour qu’il acc�de au tr�ne de Juda qui lui �tait promis, il lui faut �chapper � l’infid�le reine Athalie, sa grand-m�re, qui, apr�s le songe o� elle s’est vue soudainement menac�e, cherche � le faire p�rir.
Command�e, comme Esther, par Mme de Maintenon qui voulait �difier les jeunes pensionnaires de sa maison de Saint-Cyr par des sujets de pi�t�, Athalie est, en 1691, la seconde pi�ce que Racine tire de l’Ecriture sainte. Trag�die messianique – Joas y est oint comme le Christ – mais �galement politique et morale, s’il est vrai qu’elle propose une le�on sur le bon usage du pouvoir, sa grandeur tient aussi au prestige de sa forme : œuvre parl�e et drame chant� gr�ce � la pr�sence des chœurs et de la musique de Jean-Baptiste Moreau, elle marque un retour � la grande trag�die chorale de la Renaissance, mais �voque aussi l’op�ra naissant. C’est la derni�re pi�ce de Racine.

Edition pr�sent�e et annot�e par Gilles Ernst.
