Eleven years after its first successful run at La Monnaie, Olivier Py’s staging of ‘Les Huguenots’ returns to Brussel this summer. A golden, opulent ‘grand o...

In June 2022, director Olivier Py returns to La Monnaie with his staging of ‘Les Huguenots’ by Giacomo Meyerbeer. It marks his sixth visit to our opera house, after the creation of the original 'Huguenots' production in 2011, 'Hamlet' (2013), ‘Dialogues des Carmélites’ (2017), ‘Lohengrin’ (2018) and 'La Gioconda' (2019). We went in search of the artistic credo underlying his art and his work at La Monnaie.

As much a historical panorama as an intimate drama, Les Huguenots tells the story of the impossible love between a Catholic and a Protestant in the context of the religious wars that set France ablaze in the sixteenth century, reaching a bloody climax with the St Bartholomew’s day massacre. The 2011 La Monnaie production was a major event, presenting the score in all its extravagance, rich in dramatic contrasts, and altering perceptions of the length of the performance. It helped to usher in a return to the international music scene of ‘French grand opera’, a key musical genre that was omnipresent for much of the nineteenth century. More than a decade after he first offered his vision of the work, the director Olivier Py will bring his influential production back to life with an entirely new cast. Following his success in our production of Robert le diable in 2019, the conductor Evelino Pidò will lead the La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra.

English

Aussi bien fresque historique que drame intime, Les Huguenots raconte une histoire d’amour impossible entre une catholique et un protestant dans le contexte des guerres de religion qui ont embrasé la France au XVIe siècle, surtout au cours de la tristement célèbre nuit de la Saint-Barthélemy. En 2011, la Monnaie créait l’événement en montant cette partition de la démesure, riche en contrastes dramatiques et instaurant un rapport particulier au temps de la représentation. Cette production participait au retour sur la scène musicale internationale du « grand opéra français », genre musical déterminant – voire omniprésent – pendant une grande partie du XIXe siècle. Plus d’une décennie après avoir proposé sa vision de l’œuvre, le metteur en scène Olivier Py redonnera vie à son spectacle phare avec une distribution entièrement renouvelée. Evelino Pidò, qui avait dirigé notre orchestre avec maestria dans Robert le diable en 2019, sera au pupitre.
