La dama blanca by Boieldieu, De (2021/2021), Dirigido por Louise Vignaud,, Director Nicolas Simon, Théâtre Ledoux, Besanzón, Francia

With his White Lady (1825), Boieldieu arouses the admiration of his peers - Rossini speaks of a “tour de force”, Weber makes him the equal of the Marriage of Figaro-, but also the public. The play is the first to exceed a thousand performances at the Opéra-Comique ... For its sixth production, the [opera] tive plunges us into a Scotland which brings together all the codes of romantic opera. Codes transposed here to an animal world where the marvelous takes precedence over realism. Louise Vignaud, director, and Nicolas Simon, musical director of the Orchester Les Siècles, thus compose a harsh, beautiful and disturbing tale, where comedy and music come together to reveal the mastery of an opera. whose tunes we hum, long after the release.
