The Singing Rose of Versailles

Riyoko Ikeda, the author of popular Japanese comic book series “The Rose of Versailles,” held a vocal recital Monday at the Palace of Versailles where her comic book stories are set on the outskirts of Paris.

Wearing a costume like a woman in the palace at the peak of its flourishing days, Ikeda entertained the audience of some 80 invited guests with her songs, including a piece written by Queen Marie Antoinette, the wife of Louis XVI and a key character in the comic series, at a theater inside the palace.
