A major event, the world premiere of this new opera by Philippe Boesmans will be performed by the cream of French singers, including Mireille Delunsch and Yann Beuron. To a libretto taken from Witold Gombrowiczs play of the same name and in a staging by Luc Bondy, the character of Yvonne evolves, revealing others not as they think they are but reflecting their inner truth as if in a mirror. Boesmans musical language in this, his sixth opera, is remarkable for its rich colours and luxuriant harmony, allowing the voice to take pride of place in styles ranging from recitative to Sprechgesang.

    A model for many auditoriums around the world, this fine piece of design was constructed in the time of Napoleon III as part of Haussmann's city development scheme, Charles Garnier submitted the winning design for the Palais and construction lasted from 1860 to 1875. Major refurbishment has since been undertaken to restore the sumptuousness of the Palais, a style that was typical of the Second Empire. Le Groupe de la Danse de Carpeaux, the marble Grand Staircase, the red and gold auditorium, the ceiling by Chagall and an 8 tonne crystal chandelier – all these components are all designed for a heightened appreciation of performance and illusion. Home to the world famous Ballet de l'Opera, Opéra Garnier presents an extensive repertoire of contemporary music and dance in addition to the popular classical pieces.
