From 09 to 31 May 2016
An extraordinary theatrical machine.
The product of a dramatic introspection making no concessions to tradition, in which illusion is presented as such through an endless interplay of mirror images reflecting a twilight Vienna, Strauss and Hofmannstahl’s comedy is constructed as a brilliant musical conversation, a bitter-sweet reflexion on life, the passing of time and the impalpable nostalgia of love. After an absence of eleven years, Anja Harteros returns to the Paris Opera in one of the most beautiful roles of the repertoire,
under the baton of Philippe Jordan.
