OperaDonna Anna in 2020
Emancipated, Celebrated, Agitated
The outside world knows her as a renowned harpsichordist, but Donna Anna’s self-assured facade hides a complex personality. This is especially clear in the way she deals with the opposite sex. Her father, the Commendatore, Don Giovanni or her tender husband Don Ottavio: each of the men in this opera provokes feelings that are both extreme and ambiguous. Soprano Simona Šaturová tells us all about her character in Don Giovanni.

OperaDon Alfonso in 2020
A gender-fluid puppet master
He’s the owner of a newspaper stand who seems to know everyone. A gender-fluid street philosopher who breaks societal norms just by being himself. A manipulative intruder who pulls the strings of all the characters in Così fan tutti. In our Trilogia Mozart Da Ponte, Don Alfonso – portrayed by baritone Riccardo Novaro – is all that… and so much more.

The French creative arts company Clarac-Deloeuil > le lab is using Mozart to kick the ‘here and now’ into overdrive by making maximum use of video technology. In parallel to rehearsals for the three operas, the company also mobilized a full film crew and, with all the singers from the cast in tow, made its way to twenty-three surprising locations in Brussels. We went along to the set to talk to le lab directors Olivier Deloeuil and Jean-Philippe Clarac.
