[ SAMSON ] ENTRETIEN AVEC LE METTEUR EN SCÈNE CLAUS GUTH

Samson Rameau

When, in 1733, Voltaire, the most brilliant mind of his day, collaborates with Rameau, its greatest composer, in undertaking an ambitious reform of operatic practice, the result is the biblical opera Samson. But the libretto is condemned and the score lost – possibly reworked here and there in later compositions. Claus Guth and Raphaël Pichon, haunted by this interesting project that had turned into one of the most intriguing failures in operatic history, have tried, not to recreate the letter, but to revive the spirit: to marry a strong, noble libretto with the most eloquent music. Samson is the chosen of God, but his extraordinary strength isolates him as much as it marks him out: a succession of failed love affairs turns him into a destructive force, making this biblical Hercules the first suicidal to be a mass murderer. Supporting Jarrett Ott, Jacquelyn Stucker and Lea Desandre in the principal roles, the Pygmalion chorus and orchestra become important actors in a fresco that is both sublime and astonishingly modern.

English

Quand, en 1733, le plus brillant esprit de son temps, Voltaire, s’associe le plus grand compositeur, Rameau, pour mener à bien une ambitieuse réforme de l’art lyrique, cela donne l’opéra biblique Samson. Mais jugé sulfureux, le livret est censuré et la partition, perdue – reprise par bribes incertaines dans des ouvrages ultérieurs. Hantés par ce projet singulier devenu l’une des plus belles chimères de l’histoire de l’opéra, Claus Guth et Raphaël Pichon ont voulu non pas en reconstituer la lettre mais en recréer l’esprit : associer un récit d’une force et d’une noblesse inédites à la plus éloquente des musiques. Samson est l’élu de Dieu mais son pouvoir extraordinaire l’isole autant qu’il le distingue : une suite d’amours trompeuses va le retourner en pulsion destructrice, faisant de l’Hercule biblique le premier suicidé meurtrier de masse. Entourant Jarrett Ott, Jacquelyn Stucker et Lea Desandre dans les rôles principaux, le chœur et l’orchestre Pygmalion deviennent les acteurs à part entière d’une fresque sublime, extraordinairement actuelle.
