Combining historical truth and tragic realism, Adriana Lecouvreur has never failed to expose on stage the noblest theatrical illusions along with real-life feelings. First performed in Milan in 1902, it is a favourite of audiences due to its melodic inventiveness and the elegance of the orchestral writing.
Sonya Yoncheva and Jonas Kaufmann embody the couple in love, while de Bouillon is played by Anita Rachvelishvili and Michonet by Ambrogio Maestri. A quartet to do justice to a series of evenings that promise to be golden pages in the memory of this theatre and its audiences.
