A Quiet Place, created in 1983 by Leonard Bernstein and revised in 1986, was conceived as the sequel to Trouble in Tahiti. We find Sam, three decades later, as a fallen father and rejected by his two children. Dinah, his wife, has just died in a car accident and the family reunite at his funeral. The pain of mourning reveals unacknowledged wounds. This work, deeply rooted in the society of the time and the taboos that accompany it, is the last opera of a composer who has never ceased to want to renew the lyrical form. A new version, adapted by Garth Edwin Sunderland, premiered in concert in 2013 under the direction of Kent Nagano. She is, for the first time, staging and the Opéra national de Paris has entrusted this task to Krzysztof Warlikowski, who tightens the intrigue around the family and its secrets.
