For several weeks at the Berthier workshops, work on staging and dramaturgy progressed.
On the stage of the Salle Favart, the set was erected and the lighting adjusted. The performers, the choir Les Éléments and Le Consort took their places: it was time for dress rehearsals, to balance the orchestra and voices, and to make final adjustments before the premiere.
