Suor Angelica / L'Enfant et les Sortilèges: Suor Angelica Puccini (+1 More)

As the third pairing in our double bill series, our 2023/2024 season will open with Puccini's Suor Angelica and Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortilèges. Suor Angelica (Sister Angelica) is the second work in Il trittico, a collection of three one-act operas from Puccini's later years. Performed with only female singers except for the mixed chorus in the final scene, this work captures a remarkably religious and lyrical atmosphere. For approximately 50 minutes, peaceful scenes of the convent nuns, the tense interaction between Angelica and her aunt, the Princess, that dramatically turns into tragedy, and scenes of mysterious miracles, all develop through Puccini's distinctively eloquent orchestration.

Called a "Lyric Fantasy" by the composer, L'Enfant et les Sortilèges (The Child and the Spells) by Ravel is a fantasy merging elements of both opera and ballet. The story develops from a child's perspective, and can be enjoyed as a fable for children and adults alike. It is also appealing as a spectacular orchestral work showcasing Ravel's unique, modern harmonies and rhythms.

Aguni Jun, one of the finest opera directors in Japan, and the conductor Numajiri Ryusuke, renowned for his particular talent for modern works, work again together here as they did for Eine florentinische Tragödie & Gianni Schicchi. Enjoy the unique contrasts of this double bill. The role of Angelica will be performed by Chiara Issoton, who has risen to stardom with dramatic roles such as Tosca, among others, making her return to the NNTT having sung Tosca in 2021.

プッチーニの描く奇蹟とラヴェルのファンタジー
母子の愛のダブルビル
ダブルビル（2本立て）シリーズの第3弾として、プッチーニ『修道女アンジェリカ』とラヴェルの『子どもと魔法』をカップリングして上演します。『修道女アンジェリカ』は、プッチーニ晩年の「三部作」の二作目で、ラストシーンの混声合唱を除き登場人物すべてが女声だけで演じられ、宗教的、叙情的な空気に満ちた作品です。約50分の中に、修道女たちの穏やかな情景、アンジェリカと叔母である公爵夫人の緊迫したやり取りと悲嘆へのドラマティックな展開、そして神秘的な奇蹟のシーンが、プッチーニならではの雄弁な管弦楽で展開します。ラヴェルの『子どもと魔法』は作曲家自身が「ファンタジー・リリック」と呼んだ、オペラとバレエの要素を融合させて作曲された作品。子ども目線で展開する趣向も楽しく、子どもはもちろん、大人のための寓話としても楽しむことのできる舞台作品です。ラヴェル独特の近代的な和声やリズム、華麗な管弦楽も魅力です。
演出に国内きっての実力派オペラ演出家の粟國淳、指揮には近代作品も得意とする沼尻竜典が『フィレンツェの悲劇／ジャンニ・スキッキ』に続いて登場。ダブルビルならではのコントラストが楽しみです。アンジェリカには、トスカなどドラマティックな役柄でスター街道を駆け上がるキアーラ・イゾットンが、21年『トスカ』以来の出演となります。
