Overview

As the third pairing in the double bill series, our 2023/2024 season will open with Puccini's Suor Angelica and Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortilèges.

Aguni Jun, one of the finest opera directors in Japan, and the conductor Numajiri Ryusuke, renowned for his particular talent for modern works, work again together here as they did for Eine florentinische Tragödie & Gianni Schicchi. Enjoy the unique contrasts of this double bill.

History

Premiere of this production: 14 December 1918, Metropolitan Opera

Suor Angelica (Sister Angelica) is an opera in one act by Giacomo Puccini to an original Italian libretto by Giovacchino Forzano. It is the second opera of the trio of operas known as Il trittico (The Triptych). It received its world premiere at the Metropolitan Opera on December 14, 1918.

Premiere of this production: 21 March 1925, Monte Carlo Opera

L'enfant et les sortilèges: Fantaisie lyrique en deux parties (The Child and the Spells: A Lyric Fantasy in Two Parts) is an opera in one act, with music by Maurice Ravel to a libretto by Colette. It is Ravel's second opera, his first being L'heure espagnole. Written from 1917 to 1925, L'enfant et les sortilèges was first performed in Monte Carlo in 1925 under the baton of Victor de Sabata. After being offered the opportunity to write a musical work, Colette wrote the text in eight days. Several composers were proposed to Colette to write the music, but she was only excited by the prospect of Ravel.
