Singer

Cadmus and Hermione

Philharmonie de Paris

Five acts, four rich duets: from the emotion of their first exchanges on enemy soil to their union in a foregone conclusion, Shakespeare's two heroes sing of their love in sun-drenched melodies, which Charles Gounod, a learned playwright, darkens as they descend into their destiny. The Orchestre National de France accompanies two exceptional singers, dreamlike voices and born actors, in a concert version of this masterpiece of our heritage, a moment of French sensitivity.

Romeo and Juliet / Oropesa / Castronovo

Théâtre des Champs-Élysées

A flame setting bodies and hearts ablaze, Don Giovanni consumes and consumes women in a frantic race that makes him feel alive. But in these endless conquests, isn't it, more than pleasure, the eager search for challenges that drives him? Isn't he a mirror of our addiction to desire, excitement, and consumption that leads us to the abyss?

For his staging of this essential Mozart opera, Jean-Yves Ruf invites the musicians of Julien Chauvin's Concert de la Loge onto the stage, in a unique scenography that favors all the porosity between instrumentalists and soloists. A complex version of Don Giovanni where the character oscillates between his inner slopes.

For this opera, ARCAL has opted for youth, with the cream of the rising generation of French singers for a vibrant and contemporary interpretation of this timeless myth.
