In a few words

Medea did not hesitate to sacrifice her family for her passion for Jason. Jason, propelled by her, ascended to the throne of Boeotia. He solidified his power by marrying the daughter of Creon, the king of Corinth. Medea's fury then unleashed until she committed the unthinkable act: the murder of their two children.

Médée

Luigi Cherubini

8 au 16 février 2025

L’Opéra-Comique invite Laurence Equilbey et Marie-Ève Signeyrole à se saisir de ce « sommet de la musique dramatique » – dixit Brahms – et à imaginer l’écrin et la dialectique tragiques pour la Médée de Joyce El-Khoury. Comment appréhender cette figure au XXIe siècle ?
Le mythe de la femme fatale trouve en elles les meilleures interprètes.
