Description

A poem of mysterious beauty, an initiatory epic, a reflection on eternal salvation, a founding text of Italian literature and a pillar of European culture, Dante's Divine Comedy seemingly proves immune to all adaptation. Yet this is the challenge taken up by Pascal Dusapin and his librettist Frédéric Boyer as they lead Dante on a journey through the different ages of his life in search of Beatrice, who has died prematurely.

From the circles of hell, where Lucifer awaits him, to paradise and triumphant light, is the poet's inner journey not a parable of our humanity? Featuring both organ and glass harmonica, Il Viaggio, Dante, written in Italian in homage to Dante's prosody, enters the Paris Opera repertoire after its Aix-en-Provence Festival premiere in 2022.

Claus Guth's staging oscillates between fantasy and reality, the living and the dead, before finally attaining Beatrice's smile.
