The life of Adrienne Lecouvreur, member of the Comédie-Française and admired by Voltaire, was as brief as her death was mysterious. Was she really poisoned by a bouquet of violets sent by her rival, the Princess de Bouillon, who was in love with the same man as her: Maurice de Saxe? Whatever the case, such is the plot of Eugène Scribe and Ernest Legouvé's play, which inspired Francesco Cilea's librettists. The Italian composer, close to the verist movement, drew on their material to write a refined score, which premiered in Milan in 1902 with Caruso in the role of Maurizio. At the Opéra Bastille, David McVicar's staging, as refined as a painting by Watteau, resurrects a lively 18th century in which the passions of life on stage echo those of real life.

English

La vie d’Adrienne Lecouvreur, sociétaire de la Comédie-Française, admirée par Voltaire, fut aussi brève que sa mort mystérieuse. Fut-elle vraiment empoisonnée par un bouquet de violettes envoyé par sa rivale, la princesse de Bouillon, amoureuse du même homme qu’elle : Maurice de Saxe ? Telle est en tout cas la trame de la pièce d’Eugène Scribe et Ernest Legouvé dont s’inspirent les librettistes de Francesco Cilea. Le compositeur italien, proche du courant vériste, y a trouvé matière pour une partition raffinée, créée à Milan en 1902 avec Caruso dans le rôle de Maurizio. À l’Opéra Bastille, la mise en scène de David Mc Vicar, raffinée comme un tableau de Watteau, ressuscite un XVIIIe siècle bouillonnant où les passions de la vie sur scène font échos aux passions de la vie réelle.
