Anatomy of a Myth

By Isabelle Stibbe

Exaggerated musculature, club, lion skin… 

As Ercole amante by Antonia Bembo enters the repertoire, curators Ludovic Laugier and Virginie Guffroy explore the figure and attributes of Hercules through three sculptures from the Louvre Museum: Hercules on the Pyre by Guillaume Coustou (1704), Hercules Chained by Love by Jean-Joseph Vinache (1741), and the Farnese-type Hercules (2nd century AD).

Draw-me La Dame aux camélias

By Clod

To mark the revival of the ballet La Dame aux camélias, choreographed by John Neumeier, check out this animated summary of the story.

One evening at the theatre, Armand meets a courtesan, Marguerite Gautier. After the performance, he declares his love for her. She rejects him, but, touched by his passion, agrees to see him again. While Marguerite continues to entertain several lovers, Armand persists in waiting for her. When she leaves for the countryside for health reasons, he follows her. After an argument between Armand and the Duke who supports her, Marguerite decides to give up her protector’s money. Marguerite and Armand can then live their love freely. But one day, Armand’s father demands that Marguerite leave his son in order to preserve the family’s honor. She accepts this sacrifice and returns to Paris to resume her former life. Later, Marguerite and Armand meet again by chance. Seeking revenge, the young man courts another woman. Worse still, at a ball, he publicly humiliates Marguerite by throwing money at her. Growing increasingly ill, Marguerite dies alone, in poverty.

(TOÏ TOÏ TOÏ) - Satyagraha

By Marion Mirande

Having passed through the Batsheva Dance Company, choreographers Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber stage Satyagraha, an opera by American composer Philip Glass. To discuss this work — a parable of non-violence with an alluring, hypnotic score — they will be joined by the conductor of the new production presented at the Palais Garnier, Ingo Metzmacher, a connoisseur of so-called “contemporary” music and the author of several books.

For the second consecutive season, the Paris Opera is offering monthly encounters with artists to shed light on upcoming productions, just days before opening night. Titled Toï toï toï, these exclusive events held at the Amphitheatre or Studio of the Opéra Bastille give audiences a chance to discover new productions or explore the repertoire, and to engage directly with the artists at the end of each session.

Revisiting Childhood

By Octave

For the Paris Opera Ballet School’s annual production, Élisabeth Platel presents the three ballets scheduled to be performed on the stage of the Palais Garnier. Soir de fête by Léo Staats highlights school steps that are part of the identity of the French style. Le Petit Prince, a creation by Clairemarie Osta, a former student of the School and Étoile, adapts Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s book into a ballet for the students, accompanied by Mathieu Ganio as a guest dancer in the role of the Aviator.

John Neumeier’s Yondering evokes the transition from childhood to adolescence and the discovery of the unknown. Finally, Élisabeth Platel highlights the importance of the annual performance in the students’ training.

Love until to death - Rehearsing Romeo and Juliet

By Antony Desvaux

On the occasion of the revival of Rudolf Nureyev’s ballet Romeo and Juliet at the Opéra Bastille, Hannah O’Neill and Milo Avêque discuss their work in the rehearsal studio.

Alongside their rehearsal coach Florence Clerc, the Étoile and her partner detail the technical and artistic challenges of a ballet they are both performing for the first time. Milo Avêque highlights the physical intensity required to portray Romeo’s passion, while Hannah O’Neill discusses the delicate balance Juliette must strike between grace and innocence.

Finally, they address the cinematic aspect of Nureyev’s production and the pivotal dramatic role played by Prokofiev’s music, which carries a story in which lovers remain devoted to one another even unto death.
