Limoges is taking on Viennese musical accents this winter and two of our artists are actively participating!
Mezzo Aline Martin is featured in two performances of Die Tote Stadt, a masterpiece by the Viennese composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold, which was first performed in 1920 and immediately became a huge success worldwide, as it was the most performed opera of the 1920s.
After these performances, Aline Martin will make her debut at the Opéra national de Lyon in the spring as Queen Clementine (Offenbach's Barbe Bleue) and will also perform French opera arias at the Philharmonie de Paris with the Orchestre Divertimento (conducted by Zahia Ziouani).
A few days after Die Tote Stadt, baritone Thomas Dolié will introduce us to another monument of the repertoire, as he will sing Gustav Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, with the Limoges Opera Orchestra conducted by Pierre Dumoussaud, accompanying the Ballet de l'Opéra National de Bordeaux in a historical choreography by Maurice Béjart.
Thomas Dolié will then return to the role of Ramiro (L'Heure espagnole) alongside conductor François-Xavier Roth with Les Siècles in Aix-en-Provence, Evian-les-bains, Grenoble and Soissons, as well as at the Barbican Center in London with the London Symphony Orchestra, will sing Bach's Johannes Passion with the Accentus Choir and Insula Orchestra at the Seine Musicale, will take up the role of Theseus (Lemoyne's Phèdre) at the Metz Arsenal and the Limoges Opera and will continue his collaboration with conductor György Vashegyi, the Orfeo Orchestra and the Centre de Musique baroque de Versailles, singing, also in Budapest, the role of Phinée (Jephté by Montéclair).
