Sumptuous yet witty - Offenbach La belle Hélène
"À l'Opéra de Lausanne, l'extravagant Michel Fau s'empare du plus populaire des opéras-bouffes de Jacques Offenbach dans une mise en scène très attendue, chaussant pour l'occasion les sandales du roi Ménélas". Gloriously sumptuous yet also witty - Offenbach La belle Hélène in a new production by Muchel Fau now available for a short period on arte.tv. Thius is opéra-bouffe as it should be done - with wit, extravagant and idiomatic verve. As one would expect from Michel Fay, who is unique - not only an actor, but one with extraordinary musical affinities, who can bring out the music in spoken text, so it picks up on the musical logic - not Spechstimme, but declamation that accenntuates the musical line. When he narrates - such as in the recent F X Roth Berlioz Lélio, (please read more here), he makes the text fit so well with the orchestra and singers […]

Anglais - Liceu: Rescuing Doña Francisquita
[…] more and more a haven for those who yearned with nostalgia for old splendours and who, in a grave error, defended certain supposed ‘purities’ when thankfully theatre is one of most fertile ‘impure’ forms of artistic expression. In this quickly drawn context, arrives the coproduction project of Doña Francisquita by Madrid’s Teatro de la Zarzuela, which as the name points out is one of the ‘temples’ of zarzuela, the Gran Teatre del Liceu and L’Opéra de Lausanne. The stage direction was entrusted to Lluís Pasqual, a Catalan stage director with ample operatic experience who has worked across Europe. Pasqual’s proposal is complex. To start with, he has eliminated the spoken parts, which have been substituted by a narration of an actor, an excellent Gonzalo de Castro, with completely new texts. In order to avoid it becoming a concert version of the opera with narrator, the first act is […]

"It would be more comfortable on a packed easyJet flight ". Despite a five year refurbishment programme costing 30 million Swiss francs (£20m), the seats of the Opéra de Lausanne are not bottom-friendly, customers have complained. Upgrade work concentrated on the stage and infrastructure. Modern replacement seating itself wouldn't be too expensive, but in order to accommodate it 200 places would have to be removed. The house simply cannot afford that kind of revenue loss, says its director. Unlike the ROH and ENO, which faced the same issue not that long ago, the Opéra de Lausanne has promised customers that the seating problems will be addressed. The drawback? They'll have to wait 20 years for it to happen.
