In 1607 with L'Orfeo, Monteverdi invented opera and consecrated this primary harmony: that which unites music and the cosmos in a single breath.
Orpheus sings, and the world is in harmony. His voice tames wild beasts, charms the gods, and suspends the course of destiny. His song is a link between the earth and the stars, between man and nature; it consoles sorrows and cultivates joy, bewitches the gods and resurrects the dead.
From Eden to Hell, this myth of love and loss still speaks to us. It evokes the fragile beauty of the moment, the foolish hope of holding on to what flees, the power of song in the face of silence. Here, music doesn't just tell a fable: it shapes the world and rewrites history.
Under the direction of Pauline Bayle, this original fresco takes on refined, solemn, and symbolist accents. Nothing is superfluous, everything is essential. The stage space becomes a land of light and shadow, a place of metamorphoses where the voice, sometimes a caress and sometimes a cry, unfolds in all its splendor. An intense ritual, a celebration of human song—and the mystery it carries within.
Sung in Italian, surtitled in French.
