Neither Fortune nor Virtue can vie with Love who, with a mere wave of the hand, can change the world: such is the message conveyed by Monteverdi’s exquisitely enrapturing music. A poet of space and movement, director Robert Wilson writes a new chapter in his history with the Paris Opera.

Poppée, Opéra de Paris

Julie Jozwiak, 15th June

Du 7 au 30 juin, la scène du Palais Garnier accueille Le Couronnement de Poppée, opéra de Monteverdi (1642), dans une version établie par le chef Rinaldo Alessandrini, assortie d’une mise en scène très poétique de Robert Wilson. Une production raffinée et élégante, néanmoins susceptible de décevoir les spécialistes de Monteverdi.
