On the hills of Lammermoor, in southern Scotland, at sunrise each morning, Lucia meets a mysterious young man with whom she has fallen in love: Edgardo, from the Ravenswood clan.
In the course of the 19th century, Shakespeare’s works were a constant source of inspiration for the Romantics. In particular, The Tragic History of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, one of the English playwright’s most famous plays, dominated by the existential questions of the title role – To be or not to be –, the ghost of his murdered father and his doomed love for Ophelia.
The young American choreographer Bobbi Jene Smith is invited for the first time to the Paris Opera to create a work in her sensual, tribal and theatrical style.
In February 1972, the American president Richard Nixon went to China to meet Mao Zedong. In the context of the war in Vietnam and the cold war, this encounter marked a turning point in Chinese‑ American relations.
