A rooster and hens, peasants wielding scythes, headscarves and clogs: such is the bucolic world of La Fille mal gardée, where young Lise, a farm girl in love with the peasant Colas, continually outwits her watchful mother, who wants to force her to marry another man – wealthier but simple-minded.
Who better than Thomas Jolly, one of the most inventive directors of his generation to celebrate this hymn to youth? A connoisseur of Shakespeare, he captures the emotions of adolescence while reintroducing a crucial element from the play: the plague epidemic which infuses the characters with an urgency to live and love.
Premiered to great success in Paris in 1843, Don Pasquale showcases Gaetano Donizetti’s undeniable gift for comedy. In this sparkling score, the apotheosis of opera buffa, the composer leaves his unmistakeable mark: a bittersweet tenderness for his characters, even the crustiest old misers.
Set to the richly contrasted music of Alexander Glazunov and enhanced by Nicholas Georgiadis’ sumptuous sets and costumes, this ballet proves to be more than a medieval fantasy with a tournament and wedding celebrations. Its enduring power to captivate audiences may lie in its ability to offer a glimpse of the unsettling realms of the unconscious and latent desire.
La Fille mal gardée recounts the triumph of thwarted love thanks to cunning. This ballet-pantomime, created by Jean Dauberval in July 1789 at the Grand-Théâtre de Bordeaux, has inspired many choreographers throughout history with its childlike universe and its lighthearted vision of the peasant world.
Four love duets, a fiery waltz and luminous, lyrical music: the entire score seems to tremble with desire and freshness. Who better than Thomas Jolly, one of the most inventive directors of his generation, reputed for his audacious re‑readings of Shakespeare, to celebrate this hymn to youth? Following his Eliogabalo by Cavalli in 2016, he signs his second collaboration with the Paris Opera.
Don Pasquale, an old greybeard, decides to take a wife in order to overturn his nephew Ernesto’s plans. Ernesto, however, with the help of Doctor Malatesta, undertakes to ensnare Don Pasquale in the meshes of his own trap, entrusting the role of bride-to-be to Norina, his own betrothed. Docile, then intractable, Norina excels in playing at false appearances.
