L'Autre voyage - Dijon Opera house (2024) - L'Autre voyage - Opéra de Dijon (2024)

Description

Co-production with the Opéra Comique where the work was created in February 2024 (we reported on it in our french columns).

"An intimate musician, Franz Schubert left numerous unfinished scores, testimonies of his artistic demands that were difficult to satisfy. Silvia Costa and Raphaël Pichon imagine a psychic journey to the heart of his aesthetic, revealing poignant emotions.

On stage, a forensic doctor, facing his own disappearance and his wife, facing the pain of mourning and impossible forgetting. Director Silvia Costa and musical director Raphaël Pichon are inspired by the opuses of the romantic composer Franz Schubert, unfinished or reorchestrated, to confront us with our deepest desires and fears, during a moving introspective journey. While he undertakes the dissection of his own organs, the doctor, played by Stéphane Degout, performs his moral and emotional autopsy, the one to which Schubert's music pushes us. An intimate exploration of our aspirations, our past wonders, our dreams and our illusions, through the ghosts emanating from the work of Franz Schubert.
