Opéra by Philippe Boesmans with a libretto by Joel Pommerat adapted from his homonymous play. Premiered at the Théâtre Royal de La Monnaie, Brussels on 30 March 2014.

Philippe Boesmans is one of the great contemporary operatic composers. His sense of narration and of the stage, his inventive and sensitive musical art enabled his operas Reigen, Wintermärchen, Julie and Yvonne, princesse de Bourgogne to spread, anchoring them in today’s repertoire. In his new work, the Belgian composer appeals to Joël Pommerat, utilizing his literary landscape with Au monde, a play premiered in 2004. This is the second musical endeavor by the French author and stage director after Thanks to my Eyes.

Presentation of the work by Agnès Terrier 40 minutes prior to each performance.
Performance duration: 2h without an intermission

France Musique will broadcast Au Monde on the 14 March 2015 - 7pm.

 

Musical direction, Patrick Davin • Staging, Joël Pommerat • With Frode Olsen, Werner Van Mechelen, Philippe Sly, Charlotte Hellekant, Patricia Petibon, Fflur Wyn, Yann Beuron, Ruth Olaizola • Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France
