Created in September 2019 at the Théâtre royal de La Monnaie in Brussels, the tenth opera by Pascal Dusapin, Macbeth Underworld, which was to be repeated immediately in Paris and Rouen before being postponed due to the pandemic, took four years to finally be scheduled at the Opéra-Comique. No doubt he will have lost nothing of his visionary force, this Macbeth from beyond the world, beyond all salvation, whose eight paintings evoke, under the crawls of consciousness and the murmurs of the unconscious , the key stages of Shakespearean drama.
The director Thomas Jolly married the musician’s imagination: a black and white streaked with red lasers, drawn from the cinematographic sources of Welles, Polanski and Spider Castle, by Kurosawa. Dusapin’s music screams horror and crime, but also sings of fear and lament, love and the thirst for life. This Shakespeare, bearer of a dream in debt at night, more oratorio of darkness than opera of Erebus, will be defended by a valiant cast under the direction of Franck Ollu at the head of the Lyon Opera Orchestra.

At the Opéra-Comique, place Boieldieu, Paris 2nd. From November 6 to 12. From €6 to €105.
