ORATORIO POUR LA PAIX is a lyric, narrative and dramatic work closer to the secular cantata than to the opera, which doesn’t want to be (although it sometimes refers to it) a descriptive composition of the horrors of war but, above all, a work on the duty of remembrance that each of us must transmit to future generations.
 
Through the texts of various authors, countries and different eras, the hope of freedom and peace always emerges ; whether it’s called SALAM, SHALOM, PEACE, PACE, PAZ or FRIEDEN, Peace is always synonymous of hope for a better world for all peoples.
 
 
    « Never can the most brilliant triumphs compensate a nation for the loss of the multitude of its members whom war sacrifices, his victories even make deep sores that only peace can cure ».
