In a few words

Medea did not hesitate to sacrifice her family for her passion for Jason. Jason, propelled by her, ascended to the throne of Boeotia. He solidified his power by marrying the daughter of Creon, the king of Corinth. Medea's fury then unleashed until she committed the unthinkable act: the murder of their two children.

Médée

Luigi Cherubini

February 08 to 16, 2025

The Opéra-Comique invites Laurence Equilbey and Marie- Ève Signeyrole to seize the opportunity of this « dramatic music summit » – dixit Brahms – to create the tragic setting and dialectic for Joyce El-Khoury’s Médée. How does one approach this femme fatale archetype in the twenty-first century? Laurence Equilbey and Marie-Éve Signeyrole certainly honoured her.
