OPERA, LIFE STORIES

Wozzeck, Le Prophète and Lucie de Lammermoor recount the destruction of individuals manipulated by power – be it military, religious, political or socio-economic: tragic trajectories that denounce systems of oppression and warn us against their excesses. The journeys of the protagonists in Così fan tutte and Picture a day like this, while equivocal, are potentially more constructive, offering a life-saving lesson that, however cruel, heralds a new equilibrium. Through the prism of these shattered destinies and initiatory journeys, can opera shed light on our own inner vagrancy and help us project ourselves differently into the future?

WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF : Daniel Jeanneteau (stage director – Picture a day like this), Marie‑Christine Soma (stage director – Picture a day like this), Gerard McBurney (dramaturge – Wozzeck) and Dmitri Tcherniakov (stage director – Così fan tutte).
