by a small hook theater does not usually of opera: the Athenaeum - Louis Jouvet.
From April 8 to 11, there was a show about "Riders to the Sea" by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1937), a performance advantage of Rheims who finished grade is a French tour with a young cast assembled for the occasion .
was an opportunity to experience an opera composer that does not haunt the opera house, we can not say.
The piece is by John Millington Synge, Irish poet wandering, written in 1903. The action takes place in the Aran Islands in a bitter and violent universe. This may evoke the Sinners Iceland Pierre Loti, but in an even more desolate. Synge writes in "The Aran Islands" "This cry of pain-consciousness seems to lay bare for a moment and reveal the mood of human beings who feel their isolation from a world whose winds and waves make war against them. They are usually silent, but in the presence of death, while sham of indifference or patience is forgotten, and they howl of despair, Pitou, to the horror of the fate that they are all doomed. " (quoted in the program, translation by P. Leyris).
is dark and beautiful. I felt that the music of Ralph Vaughan-Williams fading subject. It's nice to hear a beautiful lyrical to the Anglo-Saxon music that evokes the film, but it runs in circles After a moment, and it sounds very sweet compared to the text. inserts Beautiful Irish melodies, very well orchestrated.
My favorite is the song cycle on Stevenson's texts, early show.
proper interpretation of singers: Jacqueline Mayeur, Patrice Verdelet, Elsa Levy, Sevan Manoukian. Excellent small orchestra of the Grand Theatre de Reims and the Champagne Thibaut choir directed by Jean-Luc Tingaud.
