Enter the heart of the creation and discover the artists at work!

The Paris National Opera offers Arop members the privilege of observing the work of the artists and the genesis of a production at different times: work sessions, pre-dress rehearsal and dress rehearsal. The dress rehearsal is the last rehearsal before the first performance.

7 DEATHS OF MARIA CALLAS

Pioneering performance artist Marina Abramović has contributed in large measure to rethinking the image of the female body in the 20th century. The autobiographical character of her work, fuelled by the inherent suffering of her disillusionment and amorous dramas, finds a particular resonance in the life of Maria Callas. Who better than the great diva has embodied mortal passions, both at the opera and in her private life? It is the heroine’s relationship with love’s demise which Marina Abramović, avatar-like, brings to the stage here. At the crossroads of opera, performance art and video creation, 7 Deaths of Maria Callas includes arias from some of the Greek American soprano’s greatest roles, recalling the countless women sacrificed at the hands of 19th century composers.
