Schedule of events - Opéra de Lille

True to the original and libertine spirit, the company Miroirs Étendus places the classic in a contemporary perspective, in a version where it's no longer about a game of deception, but rather about "being overwhelmed by unexpected, explosive feelings of love." Times change, and so do customs: director Antonio Cuenca Ruiz envisions "Così fan tutti" (are they all like that) as an evening among young people that turns into a grand maneuver of a game of love, both light and serious, intimate yet also political. Drawing from contemporary imagination, he pairs Da Ponte's recitatives with libertine texts from the era, in a vision that is both faithful and modern. In line with this inspiration, the musical adaptation—entrusted to Maël Bailly—captures the richness of the original score while infusing it with more contemporary colors through innovative instrumentation. After revisiting Gluck's "Orpheus and Eurydice," the company continues its collaboration with emerging artists, forging new connections to bring the masterpieces of the repertoire closer to the audience of Hauts-de-France.
