Fantaisie Lyrique
Description
In Fantaisie lyrique, Dorothée de Monfreid pays tribute to one of her childhood favourites: L'Enfant et les sortilèges, the poetic masterpiece born from the collaboration between Colette and Maurice Ravel after the First World War.
Through a sensitive and beautifully illustrated narrative, the author explores how these two contrasting personalities created this unique "lyrical fantasy". Her drawings bring to life the imaginative world of the opera, where objects come alive and music turns into a fairytale.
At the same time, Dorothée de Monfreid takes readers behind the scenes of the Paris Opera, documenting the 2023 production of L'Enfant et les sortilèges. The result is a fascinating dialogue between past and present, creation and reinterpretation.
Blending documentary insight and artistic emotion, Fantaisie lyrique is both a celebration of creativity and a tribute to the enduring magic of the lyrical arts - a bridge between music, literature and illustration.
