Festival de Bangor : Les jeux de l'amour et de Mozart

THE GAMES OF LOVE AND MOZART Designed by Blandine Jeannest Set design and direction by Jean Pierre Schneider MUSIC: excerpts from Mozart's operas (duet and trio arias from The Marriage of Figaro, Cosi fan Tutte and Don Giovanni) TEXTS: letters from Mozart to his father, to Constance.... THREE SINGERS, a pianist, a narrator perform on stage in an Italian setting and lighting. Sylviane Gentil: soprano, Blandine Jeannest de Gyves: soprano, Matthieu Guary: baritone Véronique Menuet Stibbe: piano, Jean Pierre Schneider: narrator The performance of excerpts from Mozart's most beautiful piano pieces gives rhythm to the whole and structures the sequence of opera sequences. Reading some of Mozart's letters allows us to get closer to the composer and to better understand the circumstances in which some of his operas were created and, more broadly, the status of a musician at the end of the 18th century.
