OPÉRA EN 3 ACTES LES BONNES RAISONS D’Y ALLER Titre rarement mis en scène, premier rôle tenu par le grand Plácido Domingo, direction d’orchestre par Antonio Pappano, Les Deux Foscari est indubitablement un incontournable de la saison ! Cet opéra de jeunesse de Verdi, très sombre et cruel, marquera les débuts du metteur en scène américain Thaddeus Strassberger au Royal Opera House. Il met en scène la corruption de Venise, illustrée dans le contraste entre les costumes opulents de Mattie Ullrich et les décors dépouillés de Kevin Knight qui soulignent l’isolement des Foscari dans une ville décadente. La richesse de la mise en scène culmine à l’acte III avec la scène flamboyante du carnaval.
