Sealing the peace of a kingdom was Louis XIV's act of love. Marrying the Infanta Maria Theresa, daughter of the King of Spain in June 1660, the young Louis XIV allowed his kingdom to enter into peace and put an end to a long war between Spain and France. So that Parnassus in love resounds with tones of joy, the greatest festivities were deployed in honor of His Majesty, during the trip of Louis XIV until his return to Paris. 

No less than Du Mont, Lully, Cavalli and many other skilful composers were needed to work on the wedding celebrations. 

From the testimonies preserved around these celebrations, from Saint-Jean-de-Luz to Versailles, this program recreates the musical works that accompanied them: the king's trumpets open the concert, while the galleries of the church welcome the symphony, organ and motets by Dumont; finally the most beautiful excerpts from Il Xerxe by Cavalli as well as the accompanying symphonies by Monsieur de Lully allow us to hear the opera which celebrated the return of the newlyweds to their Château.
