Lyrique en Mer : Air des Poulains

What draws us back to the opera, again and again? Perhaps it's those suspended moments when everything changes: a first glance that transforms a life, a vow of love, an unexpected revelation, a betrayal, forgiveness, a heart-wrenching farewell, or an unforeseen reunion. These pivotal moments punctuate our own lives, just as they do those of operatic heroes. On stage, for the duration of an aria, an emotion crystallizes, a choice is made, a destiny is forever altered. With "The Anatomy of an Opera," the festival's principal artists invite you to explore these major turning points that have been the beating heart of opera for centuries. Through a selection of their favorite arias, they bring to life the passions, hopes, doubts, and impulses that drive the most memorable characters in the repertoire. A musical journey through the universal emotions that connect us to operatic heroes and remind us, night after night, why this art continues to move us. Under the Belle-Île sky, let yourself be carried away by the most beautiful pages of the repertoire and rediscover opera in what it has that is most essential: its ability to tell the stories of life-changing moments.
