About

In few words:

Giacomo Meyerbeer’s visit to Paris in 1825 was to revolutionise opera. By imposing the Grand Opera genre, the composer made History the pivotal theme of 19th century operatic productions. Les Huguenots is a monumental fresco featuring various impossible loves in the context of the Saint Bartholomew Massacre. First performed at the Paris Opera, the work celebrated its centenary there in 1936, after more than a thousand performances, before being stowed in the archives of the Palais Garnier – the “grande boutique”. For its revival, Andreas Kriegenburg places these timeless conflicts of love and religion in an immaculate setting in which the costumes appear yet more flamboyant and the victims’ blood more violently red.

Media coverage

  • C'est un des événements de la rentrée : la redécouverte d'un opéra qui fut un triomphe en son temps

    Bertrand Renard, Culturebox

  • Grand spectacle pour la renaissance parisienne des « Huguenots »

    Sylvie Bonier, Le Temps

  • The fiery soprano Ermonela Jaho was sensationally conflicted as Valentine, a Catholic nobleman’s daughter; the soprano Lisette Oropesa sounded lucid and silky, radiating good intentions, as Marguerite de Valois, the queen-to-be who attempts to calm the internecine brutality. The mezzo-soprano Karine Deshayes sang with dazzling fullness as the sprightly page Urbain.
