A whimsical ballet: Marine Ganio et Jack Gasztowtt rehearse La Fille mal gardée

By Antony Desvaux

On the occasion of the revival of La Fille mal gardée at the Paris Opera, Marine Ganio and Jack Gasztowtt discuss the solo roles of Lise and Colas, which they perform on stage.

The two dancers explain the humorous yet virtuoso nature of this ballet, created in 1789 by Jean Dauberval, remounted in 1960 by Frederick Ashton, and added to the Paris Opéra repertoire in 2002.

Marine Ganio discusses her work in the studio and the importance of not overplaying the farcical elements at the heart of the story. Jack Gasztowtt talks about rehearsing the pas de deux with an unusual prop, a long ribbon that wraps around the dancers. The two performers share what the ribbon symbolizes for them.

Baritone Ludovic Tézier about Simon Boccanegra

By Marion Mirande

The truth of Verdian feeling shines out from Simon Boccanegra. His love of coastal landscapes, his faith in social justice and his loss of wife and child are all biographical elements towards which this opera converges.

Ludovic Tézier performs the title role, sometimes gentle, sometimes harsh, bringing his immense experience as a baritone to one of Verdi's finest and most moving scores.

A mysterious bewitchment: interview with Thomas Adès and Calixto Bieito

By Marion Mirande

  "Freedom is a ghost" said Luis Buñuel, director of the film The Exterminating Angel. Taking his inspiration from the film and its surreal domestic huis clos, composer Thomas Adès has created a brilliantly orchestrated work of tremendous dramatic force, which acts like a spell on both the performers - themselves prisoners of an enigmatic force - and the audience.

Calixto Bieito embraces this dramatic and operatic substance, underlining the humanity in its darkest aspects.
