“Whether they are called magicians, witches or enchantresses, whether they are beautiful or ugly, young or old, implacably cruel or charitable, they have never ceased to inspire the most beautiful verses, the most beautiful stanzas, as long as they are ambiguous and mysterious... True muses of Baroque composers, numerous operas have been based on their legends, developing expressive musical colors blending ecstasy and intoxication of feelings.” - Sylvie Giroux
