An opera performance, a "re-presentation", captivates by the music and the staging. In Payerne, this will be experienced in places that are themselves steeped in history. It is also experienced because it is a social and societal event. Formerly a social gathering where (good) society presents itself and concludes its business, today it is still an opportunity to build relationships and exchange points of view or business cards. The artistic concept is presented before and after the show, once again in the spirit of the inhabited places: the Payer production has neither the means nor the ambition to compete with the great opera houses and their inimitable setting. , but it wants to be at the heart of a city, in connection with its population, its artisans and its producers, for the conviviality of the festival, on the very places where, it is said, Adelaide once promoted prosperity...
