A monument of European culture whose 700th anniversary is being celebrated, the Divine Comedy is both a poem-world synthesizing all knowledge and the concrete testimony of a life immersed in the turpitudes of its time – Florence in the year 1300 , with its political and religious quarrels which nearly led Dante to the stake. With Il Viaggio, Dante , Pascal Dusapin ( Passion, 2008) and Frédéric Boyer offer an intimate journey through this reputedly unadaptable sum, which itself narrates the journey of an exemplary individual through everything that makes up the human – until his accomplishment in light and in joy. 

Seized at three ages of life, Dante passes from the circles of hell, with his litany of the damned culminating in the encounter with Lucifer, in paradise, where the enigmatic laughter of Beatrice resounds. Kent Nagano conducts the Chorus and Orchestra of the Opéra de Lyon; For his first appearance at the Festival d'Aix, Claus Guth places his protagonist between life and death, in an uncertain in-between which has the disturbing strangeness of our contemporary world
