Through the Night Joyeux Noel
Episode 1 of 3

Joyeux Noel 1/3: From the Archives of Netherlands Radio, a 1985 recording of Massenet's Christmas opera Le jongleur de Notre Dame conducted by Jean Fournet.

In Massenet's Christmas Opera Jean uses his circus skills to celebrate the Nativity - Juggling for Jesus - much to the dismay of his more learned and pious colleagues. Jean Fournet conducts this 1985 performance from the archives of Netherlands Radio.
