La Princesse légère -  (The Light Princess)

Paris

Opéra-Comique

Salle Bizet

A princess as light as a feather: Violeta Cruz's opera "La Princesse Légère", which premiered in 2017, is based on the fairy tale The Light Princess by George MacDonald. Written for children and those with a childlike soul, his stories enchanted JRR Tolkien and Lewis Carroll. The Princess of Light uses humor and poetry to evoke the way in which children are confronted with the heaviness of the adult world and how parents learn to recognize the uniqueness of each child. The score is an outburst of life where electronics meet chanson and operatic sound.

Inspired by the fable of George McDonald, the composer Violeta Cruz and the director Jos Houben have, in their work, sought a balance between speech, play, singing to build a universe steeped in childlike lightness. Remember the roundabout you played on when you were little: did you ever see it as a sound object?
