Yvonne, Princesse De Bourgogne dress rehearsals
24 Feb. 2020
- Palais Garnier
Enter the heart of creation and surprise the artists in action
The Paris Opera offers Arop members the privilege of being able to observe the work of the artists and the development of a production at different moments: during work sessions, pre-dress rehearsals and dress rehearsals. The dress rehearsal is the last rehearsal before the first performance of a show.
YVONNE, PRINCESSE DE BOURGOGNE
Princess Yvonne has nothing of a princess about her: she is ugly, apathetic and taciturn. The constant butt of taunts, her presence disturbs and irritates to excess. Philippe Boesmans’s opera, commissioned by the Paris Opera in 2008, stands alone: both sordid and droll, of unexpected cruelty but also irresistibly seductive, it reveals all the darkness of the human soul. Brought to the stage in a disturbing production by Luc Bondy, both score and libretto conserve all the dark humour and cynicism of Witold Gombrowicz’s eponymous play.
