Chevalier

The story follows the remarkable journey of Bologne, the unacknowledged offspring of an African slave and a French plantation master. He ascends to unexpected prominence in French society, gaining fame as both a violinist-composer and a fencer. His life is marked by a doomed romance and a rift with Marie Antoinette and her court. This narrative draws inspiration from the extraordinary real-life tale of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.
