The Rake's Progress: Paris National Opera

About the Event

Olivier Py’s staging of The Rake's Progress at the Paris Opera incorporates the codes of musical comedy and presents Stravinsky's opera as the theatre of a lucid and sardonic world. Haunted by Mozartian opera, Stravinsky saddles his libertine with a devil who orchestrates this fable of desire and failure.
