Synopsis
Shakespeare bequeathed
the world a legacy of theatre characters who have since become legends.
Numerous composers—Purcell, Bellini, Rossini, Thomas and Britten—have lent life
to these tormented figures on the opera stage. Maëlle Dequiedt has gathered
together some of the most intense scenes of the repertoire around one of the
English playwright’s greatest obsessions: night. Ophelia’s night of feverish
sleeplessness, Juliet’s night of waiting, Desdemona’s night of dread, and a
phantasmagorical night in A Midsummer Night’s Dream... The characters
cross paths without ever meeting. All that remains of these nights is the
desire to be and to love.
