CHAT PERCHÉ / A RURAL OPERA
Presentation Programmation & distribution Video
Adapted from Les Contes du Chat Perché by Marcel Aymé © Éditions Gallimard, 1939
Premiered in 2011, this 'rural' opera thought up by Caroline Gautier continues on its way, after winning the 2012 SACD Music Prize for the composer, Jean-Marc Singier (b.1954).
The strange beauty of the tales of Marcel Aymé (1902-1967) is revealed in a world as powerful as it is ethereal, humorous and, in short, magical. The artists, coming from the arts of the circus, dance and song, give life to Delphine, Marinette and the farm animals in a clever musical bric-a-brac combining voice and the festive sonorities of a small brass band.
Chat Perché turns and turns again...
