Le Domino Noir - Opéra-Comique (2024) - Le Domino Noir - Opéra-Comique (2024)

Description

Revival of the production created in 2018, which we reported on in our French columns.

"The ninth most performed title at the Opéra-Comique, Le Domino noir is the emblem of its romantic repertoire, and was also, according to Berlioz, Auber's best work, "light, brilliant, cheerful, often full of piquant sallies and flirtatious intentions.” On stage, disguises and misunderstandings follow one another, while the score combines Spanish pages, cheerful ensembles and virtuoso tunes.

Valérie Lesort and Christian Hecq invented a stage for metamorphoses, full of fantasy and poetry, for this 2018 success which magnifies Auber's art and restores its central place in 19th century French musical life."
