4. The Inexhaustible Fabric of Dreams
Sophie Lacaze unveils her latest chamber opera inspired by the culture of the Australian Aborigines. A true ode to nature and the suffering world around us, The Inexhaustible Fabric of Dreams features a Western artist immersed in a legend from the Dreamtime about the creation of the world.

6. Acis & Galatea
A long time ago, in Sicily... Galatea was a sea nymph, a Nereid, who lived on the island inhabited by the Cyclops Polyphemus, son of Poseidon, who was deeply in love with her. But Galatea loved the young shepherd Acis, son of Pan. The jealous Cyclops Polyphemus crushes Acis under a rock. Fortunately, sea nymphs have special powers and Acis is granted immortality, transformed by Galatea into a gushing fountain.

Like a dog in a bowling game, or rather like a Puy-de-Dôme official on a boat. While going to inspect a warship, a high commissioner, accompanied by his daughter, does not suspect that the rolling caused by his presence will upset hearts: his daughter is pining for two sailors and her father is infatuated with an actress.
