À L'AFFICHE - La Fille du régiment: a tomboy at the Opera?

By Théo Schornstein, Valentine Boidron

What if I told you: an operatic heroine who is neither victim nor tragic figure, but rather an intrepid tomboy opposed to conventions? It's obviously Marie in Gaetano Donizetti's La Fille du régiment.

The Mayerling mystery: Dorothée Gilbert and Hugo Marchand in rehearsal

By Antony Desvaux

On the occasion of the revival of Kenneth MacMillan's Mayerling, Dorothée Gilbert and Hugo Marchand talk about their roles as Prince Rodolphe and Mary Vetsera in this 1978 ballet.

The Étoiles dancers recall the historical and political context that helps us understand the ballet's stakes, and the various hypotheses put forward by historians concerning the death of the two lovers in the pavilion at Mayerling. 

They share their approach to the psychology of the characters and the relationships between men and women as depicted by MacMillan with darkness, brutality and passion.

Finally, they recount how they make the English choreographer's virtuoso language their own, and how theatrical and dramatic sense always prevail over technique.

My'Kal Stromile, between heritage and innovation

By Antony Desvaux

Invited for the first time to create a piece for the Paris Opera Ballet, My'Kal Stromile follows in the footsteps of his mentor William Forsythe.

The choreographer explains the genesis of Word for Word and how he drew inspiration from classical dance steps to imagine his own language. In costumes by Chanel, his choreography strikes a balance between heritage and innovation.

My'Kal Stromile talks about his influences, his background and his relationship with music. Finally, he shares how he works in the studio with the Opéra dancers.

By Clara Guedj

In conjunction with Barrie Kosky's new production of Les Brigands, José Sciuto, deputy workshop manager, guides us into the heart of the Paris Opera's painting, sculpture and upholstery workshops to tell us all about this production's abundant sets.

An immersion that allows us to discover the various stages of work and reveals the many and varied facets of these professions.

Draw-me The Magic Flute

By Octave

Mozart’s last opera can be seen as a marvellous tale for children or as an ardent meditation on human existence.

A prince from a far-off land on a quest to find a slightly suicidal princess encounters a giant snake and a swaggering bird catcher, the Queen of the Night and a mysterious High Priest imposing strange rites of passage…

Drawing inspiration from the words of the composer in a letter to his father, the director Robert Carsen provides an elegant and sober Magic Flute, a dark jewel that conquers Death and makes it “our best friend”, – a source of reassurance and consolation.
