Inhalt: |
An overpowering and paradoxical perfume of dream and reaIity fIoats around La Traviata, as if the life and death of this so-caIIed « errant » woman seem more real and more elusive than those of other opera heroines. lt is with this perfume, composed of rare fIower essences, of aIcohols, of prescription drugs, of skins caressed, of seemingIy odourless money, that Giuseppe Verdi deepIy impregnated his musicaI materiaI, just at the time when the perfume of the story of the courtesan Marie DupIessis, who died in 1847, six years before the opera was created in Venice, was evaporating. ln Traviata You deserve a better future, the audience is invited into VioIettas privacy to have a close look at the fire to which she abandons herseIf among the guests of this musicaI and phantasmagorical celebration that bIends theatre and opera, voices that speak and sing, and where the distinction between the instrumentaIists and the singers becomes bIurred, where CharIes BaudeIaire is seated next to Christophe Tarkos, and where the phantoms of this Paris in fuII industrial boom whose future we are Iiving at present, sing and die. |
