PETITE BALADE AUX ENFERS

Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714-1787)
Lyrical show with puppets
after "Orpheus and Eurydice" by Christoph Willibald Gluck
Season 2024-25
Duration: 00h50
No intermission

Returning to the Opéra de Lausanne after the highly festive Domino noir,

visual artist Valérie Lesort has created an opera for young audiences, featuring puppets and based on Orpheus and Eurydice by Christoph Willibald Gluck. This beautiful story of love and death is part of our imaginary heritage. Greek mythology recounts the quest of the poet and musician Orpheus, who bravely confronts the sinister land of Hades to use the magic of his lyre to convince the infernal gods to let his beloved Eurydice return to the world of the living. The challenge posed to him by the dark judges is well-known: he must not turn around to look at her until he has left their kingdom. Will the musician in love, who knows how to soften stones and ferocious beasts, succeed in bringing his beloved back to life?

This provocatively original adaptation is both sung and spoken. The underworld portrayed by Marine Thoreau La Salle, who is also on musical preparation and piano, is enlivened with magical episodes and amusing adventures, interspersed with the most beautiful arias from Gluck’s opera designed to introduce children to the art of opera. Inside a little castle, after an introduction by Zeus himself, and on the advice of Love in person, the singers appear in the form of hybrid puppets. Transformed into supernatural creatures 80 centimetres high, they are accompanied by zany animals on a journey full of poetry and magic, much to the delight of children and their parents.
