ABOUT

“The Sun Queen” is a dazzling new musical based on the true story of Julie d’Aubigny.

A Rebel, A Lover, A Legend

The Sun Queen is a new musical opera-drama inspired by the true story of Julie d’Aubigny, a woman who ignited revolution in the heart of France. The music is a unique hybrid of dark neo-Baroque, contemporary pop and musical theatre styles.

A female musketeer, rule-breaker, and passionate lover, Julie flourished in the opulent courts of King Louis XIV, burnt down a convent in the name of love, was imprisoned on Château d’If where she incited a riot, and rose to fame as Paris Opera’s celebrated diva, La Maupin.
