About
In few words:
“Opera must make audiences weep, tremble and die” said Bellini to Pepoli as he set out to delve into a sombre romanticism peopled with diaphanous heroines for the subject of his libretto. Depicting the love between a royalist and the daughter of a republican succumbing to madness, I Puritani is Bellini’s last opera: a perilous work for which Laurent Pelly offers us a production à la Piranesi, as precise and incisive as is this great monument of bel canto.

Bien entourée, la soprano franco-danoise Elsa Dreisig s’empare cette fois du rôle d’Elvira dans “Les Puritains” de Bellini. Et nous bouleverse.
Télérama - Sophie Bourdais
Le ténor mexicain Javier Camarena, habitué du rôle, s’y coule comme dans un gant, avec une justesse et une puissance vocale impressionnante.
