About

In few words:

If there exists an opera that defies boundaries at every level, be they dramatic or dramaturgical, it is certainly Verdi’s Don Carlos, a work by an Italian composer created in French, and in which the climate of war with Spain and the melancholy of human beings draw our attention to the fate to Flanders. Politics, religion, history and psychoanalysis are all entwined here, increasingly exacerbating the fears and taboos between the protagonists. Krzysztof Warlikowski strips down a tragedy haunted by ghosts, and places the intimate at the heart of an imaginary fresco truer than history itself. Along with Philippe Jordan, he reveals to the public the very first version of this great five-act opera: the version modified by Verdi himself for the work’s first performance in 1867. Echoing this historic version, the Paris Opera will be scheduling the five-act version of Don Carlo in Italian in 2019.

Media coverage

  • Une production d'exception qui réunit sur son plateau la crème des chanteurs avec Jonas Kaufmann, Sonya Yoncheva, Ildar Abdrazakov et Ludovic Tezier pour ne citer qu'eux

    Fabienne Arvers et Patrick Sourd, Les Inrockuptibles

  • Nul doute que Philippe Jordan enflammera cette partition qui luit comme un diamant noir dans le ciel verdien

    Nicolas d’Estienne d’Orves, Le Figaroscope

  • Elina Garança? Une Eboli idéale par l'alliance d'un style aristocratique, d'une technique parfaite et d'une tessiture égale sur toute l'étendue. La direction de Philippe Jordan oublie toute référence italienne, pour ce véritable opéra français qu'est la version originale du Don Carlos en cinq actes, la plus belle, enfin revenue au répertoire de l'Opéra de Paris

    Le Figaro, Christian Merlin
