Conspiracies and regattas form the backdrop to the fortunes of a young singer. Harassed by a heartless spy, she sacrifices everything to save the man she lov...

TRAILER | LA GIOCONDA Ponchielli - La Monnaie / De Munt

'Theatre is at the centre of everything,' says Olivier Py, who directs a new production of Ponchielli's opera La Gioconda at La Monnaie / De Munt. 'When you're simultaneously an intellectual, a theologian, a man who likes music and art in general, a writer... In the theatre, it's all possible and it all comes together.'

INTERVIEW | Olivier Py LA GIOCONDA - La Monnaie / De Munt

In 17th-century Venice, the singer La Gioconda rejects the advances of the spy Barnaba. She is in love with the exiled Enzo Grimaldi, but he, in turn, loves Laura, the wife of leading Venetian Alvise Badoero. Despite her feelings for Enzo, La Gioconda saves the lovers – denounced by Barnaba – a first time, when she recognises Laura as her mother’s protector. Nonetheless convinced that Laura is cheating on him, Alvise seeks revenge and decides to poison his wife. La Gioconda replaces the poison with a sleeping potion and has her rival taken to a safe place where she can be united with Enzo. Having persuaded Barnaba to help her in exchange for her love, she chooses to kill herself.
