The opening night of Les Fêtes vénitiennes will take place on April 14, 2016 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and will be followed by two performances this week-end.
A juxtaposition of little dramas, combining theater within theater, realistic and contemporary characters, simplified intrigues, and a commedia dell’arte ambiance, Les Fêtes Vénitiennes is a luxuriant work in which the aria, in a cantata style very influenced by Italy, holds sway, and dance and amusement are capital, staged by Robert Carsen.
Production: Opéra Comique
