    Paris, capital of the world! The French city has always aroused passions. Many of our compatriots criticize it with affection, yet Paris magnificently holds its place among the world’s metropolises. Capital of fashion and of the world, stronghold of the arts and technology, the former Lutetia has adapted to the challenges of the future with panache and elegance.

     

    For this stay, we invite you to two splendid shows. Located on Avenue Montaigne, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées is a monument to the musical history of the 20th century. The legendary premiere of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring took place here in 1913, and today’s singers such as Cecilia Bartoli and Philippe Jaroussky still perform here.

     

    Our program features two of today’s great opera stars: soprano Anna Netrebko in a concert-recital of Italian opera arias, and tenor Benjamin Bernheim in Massenet’s Werther, directed by Christof Loy. The golden-voiced Franco-Swiss singer is joined by the finest French singers (Marina Viotti, Jean-Sébastien Bou).

    Everything has been said and written about Anna Netrebko. The Russian-born singer is unquestionably one of the greatest and most renowned sopranos today. Since the start of her meteoric career in 1994, she has established herself as the undisputed prima donna of the 21st century. What strikes you most when you hear her in concert is the immense sonic impact of her voice, which leaves you breathless from the very first note. In recent years, her repertoire has expanded to include superbly dramatic roles, and she now interprets the most impressive heroines of Italian and Russian opera. It is precisely a bouquet of Italian opera scenes that she will perform tonight at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. Accompanied by tenor Yusif Eyvazov, LA Netrebko promises a breathtaking performance of virtuoso power.

    FRIDAY MARCH 28, 2025 - PARIS

    Day at leisure

     

    At 7.30pm, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées :

     

    WERTHER, by J. Massenet

     

    Les Siècles Orchestra

    Maîtrise des Hauts-de-Seine

     

    Marc Leroy-Calatayud: Musical direction

    Christof Loy: Stage direction

     

    Benjamin Bernheim: Werther

    Marina Viotti: Charlotte

    Jean-Sébastien Bou: Albert

    Sandra Hamaoui: Sophie

    Marc Scoffoni: Le Bailli

    Yuri Kissin: Johann

    Rodolphe Briand: Schmidt

     

    Orchestre Les Siècles

    Maîtrise des Hauts-de-Seine

     

    Charlotte’s mother wanted her to marry Albert… But when Charlotte meets the poet Werther, she discovers love, but also suffering. Torn between family duty and the torments of passion, will Charlotte remain faithful to her husband or abandon herself to Werther? Inspired by Goethe’s Sufferings of Young Werther, Werther is one of the pinnacles of French opera. First performed in 1892, Massenet’s music overwhelms with its naturalness and the truth of its characters. If Werther’s role is moving, Charlotte’s is not to be outdone, with sublime arias such as the air des Lettres and Du gai soleil plein de flamme. In the past, people used to talk about the poor health of French singing. Those days are over: all the specialists agree that French song is enjoying a new golden age, and this show, directed by the renowned German stage director Christof Loy, will not prove the contrary. The cast at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées is of the highest calibre, and almost exclusively French: Benjamin Bernheim (sunny voice, marvellous actor), the remarkable Marina Viotti, whose career and the superb Jean-Sébastien Bou.
