Over the next few weeks, the Opéra national de Lorraine and then the Opéra de Dijon will present a little-known masterpiece by the Austrian composer Alexander von Zemlinsky.
Composed in 1906, Der TraumGörge was commissioned by Gustav Mahler, then director of the Vienna Opera, but the latter's departure deprived the work of its creation and plunged it into a long sleep of 75 years in the archives of the Viennese institution, before being rediscovered and premiered in 1980.
We will have the pleasure of seeing and hearing two of the agency's young artists there, in the persons of soprano Amandine Ammirati and tenor Kaëlig Boché, who will respectively sing the roles of the Innkeeper's Woman and the Innkeeper.
"Most promising artist" of the ADAMI in 2019 and member of the Ravel Promotion of the Philippe Jaroussky Music Academy for the 2019-2020 season, Amandine Ammirati joins the Studio de l'Opéra national de Lyon for the 2020/2021 season, at the same time as completing her studies at the Conservatoire national supérieur de Musique de Lyon. This season, she also embodies the roles of Bellangère (Dukas's Ariane et Barbe-Bleue) at the Opéra national de Lyon and the First Lady (Die Zauberflöte) at the Symphonies d'Automne de Mâcon Festival.
