Torn between two women, Fidelia and Tigrana, Edgar decides to enlist in the army, where he falls in battle. Believed dead, the two women tear each other apart: Fidelia defends his memory, Tigrana presses him down... But are we really sure that Edgar is dead ?...

Taken from Musset's dramatic poem The Cup and the Lips (1832), the libretto of Puccini's second opera is almost reminiscent of Wagner's Tannhäuser: it shows us a hero torn between two images of femininity, the tender and benevolent Fidelia on the one hand, and the passionate Tigrana on the other. Like Tannhäuser, Edgar flees from both before returning, disguised as a monk, to beg forgiveness. It took Puccini four long years to perfect this work, which deserves much better than the relative oblivion in which it has been held since the failure of its premiere. The composer is already fully himself in this work, with his exceptional gift for musical emotion.

Nicola Raab and Giuliano Carella invite us to rediscover the original four-act version, later reduced to three acts by Puccini. For this stage premiere of the work in France, Opéra de Nice has assembled a first-rate cast, including Stefano La Colla's dazzling Edgar, Ekaterina Bakanova and Valentine Boi as Fidelia and Tigrana...

English

Tiraillé entre deux femmes, Fidelia et Tigrana, Edgar décide de s’enrôler dans l’armée, où il tombe au combat. Alors qu’on le croit mort, les deux femmes se déchirent : Fidelia défend sa mémoire, Tigrana l’enfonce... Mais est-on vraiment sûr qu’Edgar soit mort ?... 
Tiré du poème dramatique de Musset La Coupe et les lèvres (1832), le livret du deuxième opéra de Puccini ferait presque songer au Tannhäuser de Wagner : il nous montre en effet un héros tiraillé entre deux images de la féminité, la tendre et bienveillante Fidelia d’un côté, et Tigrana la passionnée de l’autre. Comme Tannhäuser, Edgar les fuira toutes deux avant de revenir, déguisé en moine, implorer le pardon. Il fallut quatre longues années à Puccini pour parfaire cette œuvre, qui mérite bien mieux que le relatif oubli dans lequel elle est tenue depuis l’échec de sa création. Le compositeur y est déjà pleinement lui-même, avec ce don exceptionnel de l’émotion musicale. 

Nicola Raab et Giuliano Carella nous proposent de redécouvrir la version originale, en quatre actes, Puccini l’ayant par la suite réduit à trois actes. Pour cette création scénique de l’ouvrage en France, l’Opéra de Nice a réuni une équipe de tout premier plan, avec entre autres le fulgurant Edgar de Stefano La Colla, Ekaterina Bakanova et Valentine Boi en Fidelia et Tigrana...
