La mise en scène légendaire de Robert Carsen de l'opéra de Gluck est de retour sur scène au Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. Avec :  @Jakub Józef Orliński - Count...

When he takes up more than a century and a half after Monteverdi the subject of the fable of the Orfeo, Gluck at the same time engaged in a revival of the codes of opera hitherto in force. He favors dramatic action, its strength, its coherence and its richness, which in his eyes must be in perfect harmony with the musical writing. From this reflection emerges an innovative work which, through the incredible richness of the ballets and choirs in particular, radiates a luminous beauty while "reforming" the codes of the past. The Canadian Robert Carsen has staged the work with a device beyond all temporal references and gives a central place to music and singing. If the subject comes from one of the most beautiful myths, the plot tightens on the couple formed by Orfeo and Euridice through their tunes which require flawless sensitivity and virtuosity.

After several recitals here where he triumphed, the countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński takes his first Parisian steps at the opera opposite the young Regula Mühlemann with vocals chiseled like a diamond. A duo of youth and musical insolence which should shine with a thousand lights under the expert baton of Thomas Hengelbrock at the desk of his Bathalsar-Neumann-Ensemble and Chor. The two lovers will have the impressive experience of the painful descent into Hell that even love, here embodied by Elena Galitskaya, the mischievous Pauline of the recent Parisian Life , will not be able to save. The whole palette of love song condensed in one of Gluck's most moving pages.

Lorsqu’il reprend plus d’un siècle et demi après Monteverdi le sujet de la fable de l’Orfeo, Gluck s’engage en même temps dans un renouveau des codes de l’opéra jusqu’alors en vigueur. Il privilégie l’action dramatique, sa force, sa cohérence et sa richesse, qui à ses yeux se doivent d’être en parfaite harmonie avec l’écriture musicale. De cette réflexion surgit un ouvrage novateur qui, par l’incroyable richesse des ballets et des chœurs notamment, rayonne d’une beauté lumineuse tout en « réformant » les codes du passé. Le canadien Robert Carsen a mis en scène l’œuvre avec un dispositif hors de toutes références temporelles et donne une place centrale à la musique et au chant. Si le sujet est issu de l’un des plus beaux mythes, l’intrigue se resserre sur le couple formé par Orfeo et Euridice au travers de leurs airs qui requièrent une sensibilité et une virtuosité sans faille.

Après plusieurs récitals ici-même où il a triomphé, le contre-ténor Jakub Józef Orliński fait ses premiers pas parisiens à l’opéra face à la jeune Regula Mühlemann aux vocalises ciselées comme un diamant. Un duo de jeunesse et d’insolence musicale qui devrait briller de mille feux sous la baguette experte de Thomas Hengelbrock au pupitre de ses Bathalsar-Neumann-Ensemble et Chor. Les deux amants feront l’impressionnante expérience de la douloureuse descente aux Enfers que même l’amour, ici incarné par Elena Galitskaya, la mutine Pauline de la récente Vie parisienne, ne pourra sauver. Toute la palette du chant amoureux condensée dans l’une des pages les plus bouleversantes de Gluck.
