In Götterdämmerung, Siegfried takes leave of Brünnhilde to travel the world and accomplish new feats. These will be his last: during his journey along the Rhine, he falls victim to a sinister plot hatched by Alberich and his son Hagen. The downfall of the gods is now inevitable...

Götterdämmerung

Opéra Bastille

Unique in the history of opera, The Ring of the Nibelung is the colossal tetralogy Richard Wagner worked on for thirty years. First performed in 1869, the Prologue The Rhinegold unveils from its first telluric chord a world riddled with existential questions. Who will obtain the power of the ring forged from the gold of the Rhine? The gods, the giants or the Nibelungen?

Das Rheingold (RING Festival)

Götterdämmerung (RING Festival)

The story could be straightforward: a nobleman – the Count di Luna – and a troubadour – Manrico – both covet the same woman, Leonora. But this classic rivalry is complicated by a vendetta spanning two generations, seasoned with witchcraft, burning at the stake and swapped babies. Far-fetched? No matter!

Il Trovatore

Like a Russian Madame Bovary, Katerina is profoundly bored in the company of her husband. The arrival of a new employee, Sergei, leads her into adultery and then crime, making her more akin to Lady Macbeth. But unlike Shakespeare’s character, Katerina acts not out of a thirst for power but to satisfy urges stifled by a sordid environment.
