Special offer. Gounod: Mireille
Inva Mula (Mireille), Charles Castronovo (Vincent), Opéra national de Paris, Marc Minkowski, Nicolas Joel

Orchestre de L’Opéra National de Paris, ULF SCHIRMER (conductor) & ROBERT CARSEN (director)

Ballet de l'Opéra national de Paris & Balthasar-Neumann Chor & Ensemble, Thomas Hengelbrock
