New production of Violet by L’Aurore Boréale, Paris

Violet, my opera written with writer Alice Birch, is receiving its French premiere in Paris on 19 April, in what will be its third production, directed by Jacques Osinski, with the L’Aurore Boréale company. Bianca Chillemi will conduct Ensemble Maja.

The cast is: Juliette Allen (soprano – Violet), Olivier Gourdy (baritone – Felix), Natalie Perez (mezzo soprano – Laura), Manuel Nunez Camelino (tenor – Clockkeeper).

They will do three dates at École Normale Supérieure Paris Saclay (19th, 20th and 21st), before a further run at Paris’ Théâtre de l’Aquarium in June, and possibly others after that.

For French readers, a video of Jacques Osinski discussing the production is below:
