LE TROUVÈRE Comes To Opera National De Paris Through Today

The Opera National de Paris is presenting LE TROUVÈRE, an opera in four parts, running from June 20 to July 14.

How does one approach LE TROUVÈRE - the most popular opera of its day and a swashbuckling tale of love and death over which looms a gypsy's curse - without singing one's wings in the flames of its flamboyantly extravagant plot? For this work sums up the magic of opera, the way in which a dense and complex libretto abounding in dramatic twists can be transcended by the vertiginous beauty of a vocal line.

Àlex Ollé transposes the drama to a furious war that sets brother against brother: suddenly night, castles, soldiers, eternal hatred and the stake all become realities.
