A wing and a prayer: Le Prophète

Crime et châtiment pour un monumental Prophète
Point de cujus regio ejus religio au Capitole pour l’œuvre de Meyerbeer, illustrant la vie de Jean de Leyde d’après les écrits voltairiens. Saisi et bloqué dans la violence des guerres entre l’ancienne et la nouvelle religion, l’épisode est mis en scène de façon grandiose pour cette dernière et nouvelle production de la saison lyrique toulousaine.
