NOTABLE STAGINGS
First of all, let's start with the first staging, the premiere in 1863. Here you will find sketches of the original sets (these are just acts III to V, but they were divided for this staging of
Les Troyens à Carthage in five acts), and then a full review of the performance, in French, as published on a Paris newspaper at the time. Then, scrolling down, you'll find video clips of modern stagings.
