The circle’s life
For the first time, the Paris National Opera offers its patrons the opportunity to dive
into the heart of the creation of a new production.
The chosen work, Hector Berlioz’s Damnation of Faust marks the comeback of great
voices on the stage of the Opéra Bastille, with Jonas Kaufmann playing the part
of Faust, Sophie Koch playing that of Marguerite and Bryn Terfel that of Mephistopheles.
Philippe Jordan will conduct this production which is endowed with an exceptional cast.
The stage director Alvis Hermanis and his team will let the circle’s members exclusively
take a sneak peek at the artistic path and the creation process throughout the months
of teamwork.
The circle’s members will be invited to special events with the artists to learn about the
composer’s dramaturgical approach, the evolution of the staging director’s inspiration,
the outlook of the invited interprets and of the opera’s specific professions involved.
This discovery journey will undoubtedly arouse astonishment and wonder,
and allow to go about the opera with a knowledgeable eye on the opening night.
No production can see the light of day without the support of generous patrons.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the crucial role you will take on
in this production.
