A soldier seduced by the devil, a pied piper who steals away the children: two folk tales about power and loss. Stravinsky and Ramuz wrote in 1918 a universal piece hailed by Poulenc as a major work; George Benjamin and Martin Crimp made of their first opera a poetic piece that has since become a classic. Daniel Jeanneteau, who contributed to the world premiere of Into the Little Hill in 2006, returns to the work in collaboration with Marie-Christine Soma. The Opéra-Comique partners with the T2G in Gennevilliers to (re)discover the scope of these two tales.
