Locked in his bedroom, Peer Gynt plays pretend, escaping reality through an imaginary world. This fearful yet arrogant dreamer ends up overcoming adversity, turning his journey into a quest for the self. This liar's tribulations were born from the collaboration of two Norwegian geniuses. Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt , written in 1866, became notorious thanks to Edvard Grieg's stage music. The clever twists and turns, the mix of comedy and tragedy, and the highly poetic writing make the piece undeniably powerful. The sun rises picturesquely; a lullaby plays softly, and suddenly, here is the terrifying Mountain King, ruler of the trolls and gnomes… Already acclaimed in 2022, the show is performed in Lyon by opera singers and actors, including Comédie-Française sociétaire Jérémy Lopez and our very own young Maîtrise singers. According to director Angélique Clairand, the hero's imaginary adventures, rather than being the product of mythomania, stem from his love for creativity and inner journeys. Enjoy this family-friendly ode to dreamers!

Peer Gynt

Olympe de Gouges was a brilliant woman of letters of the Enlightenment and French Revolution era. This brave, bold pioneer spent her entire life fighting against domination and for the emancipation of women, social justice, children’s rights and the abolition of slavery. With a libretto by Violaine Fournier, the piece recounts Olympe’s heroic journey through the lens of middle-school students who decide to create a play on her inspiring fights with the help of their history teacher. With music by Isabelle Aboulker, whose work on Levant Children has already been performed last season, the Opéra de Lyon is happy to present this show tailored for young audiences, featuring a children’s choir embodied by the Maîtrise – our singing school. For this production, the Maîtrise students are directed by Odile Grosset-Grange, the newly appointed director of the Théâtre Nouvelle Génération in Lyon. Together, they are doing their part to make sure Olympe de Gouges’ struggles and their phenomenal influence on our society keep on being recounted.
