Lucrèce Borgia at Opera De Massy

Cruel, bloodthirsty monster, creature dissolute and incestuous, that is
Lucrezia Borgia to everyone.
Yet Victor Hugo wrote: If your monster, you put a mother,
the frightened creature will pity, and this deformed soul will become almost
beautiful. As in a Greek tragedy, it is the purity of feeling that
experiences and she is forced to silence that inevitably cause the loss of
Lucrezia Borgia and the man she loves.
