Composer: Claudio Monteverdi

After The Coronation of Poppaea and Orpheus in 2022, the Festival continues a memorable Monteverdi cycle, in the hands of Leonardo García Alarcón and Cappella Mediterranea, with The Return of Ulysses to his Homeland – reenforcing the crucial presence of the composer to our programming. The work is particularly dear to Pierre Audi for whom it was his first production – and indeed of a repertory work – for the Dutch National Opera in 1990: how does he see it thirty years later? A judicious arrangement turns the unwieldy if fascinating plot into a profoundly moving drama, the production concentrating on simplicity and sensuality. A talented cast of young singers gives new life to this material, emphasizing the intimate motion of the music and the mysteriousness of the characters: how to play Penelope’s waiting and Ulysses’s return? The approach is in keeping with the generous manner in which Leonardo García Alarcón treats the music, always highlighting the dance within.

English

Après Le Couronnement de Poppée et L’Orfeo en 2022, le Festival poursuit un mémorable cycle Monteverdi confié à Leonardo García Alarcón et Cappella Mediterranea avec Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria – réitérant ainsi la place essentielle du compositeur dans sa programmation. L’œuvre est particulièrement chère à Pierre Audi, qui lui consacra sa première mise en scène – également d’une œuvre du répertoire – à l’Opéra d’Amsterdam en 1990 : quel regard porte-t-il sur elle trente ans plus tard ? Un agencement judicieux resserre la matière génialement disparate en drame profondément émouvant, que cette production place sous le signe de la simplicité et de la sensualité. Présentant le matériau à nu, une distribution talentueuse de jeunes chanteurs-acteurs exalte la palpitation intime de la musique et le mystère des personnages : comment comprendre l’attente de Pénélope et le retour d’Ulysse ? Une approche qui s’accorde à la manière solaire qu’a Leonardo García Alarcón d’aborder la musique, insistant toujours sur la part de danse qu’elle contient.
