The very first episode of our web-series 🎬 dedicated to Stravinsky's opera, The Rake's Progress, takes you to the heart of the creation of the decor. Antoine and Yesdi have slipped behind the scenes of our workshop (Plaine de Baud) and offer you a unique visit here, from construction to setting up the decor 👀. At the height of his art, Stravinsky reconciles with The Rake's Progress [La Carrière du libertin] tradition and modernity. Tradition in form and in neoclassical writing reminiscent of Mozart's greatest operas; modernity in this ability to reinvent the lyrical model, give it a new, dazzling youthfulness and approach the consumer society with distance and derision.

Opera in three acts by Igor Stravinsky

Libretto by Wystan Hugh Auden and Chester Kallman

Inspired by the eight paintings of William Hogarth

1951

At the height of his art and settled in Hollywood, Stravinsky composed  The Rake's Progress  ( La Carrière du Libertin ) from paintings by William Hogarth from 1948. Given its world premiere at La Fenice in Venice in 1951, this score created the event and will be repeated the following years all over the world.

 

It must be said that the work, unclassifiable, seems to us almost a century later still just as fascinating: it marries the classic form of an era in which we no longer completely believe, it depicts characters whose cracks touch and marry the issues of our society, it takes on the accents of irresistible musical comedy in certain numbers, it bursts with audacity by reinventing the lyrical model... In short, it reconciles tradition and modernity like no other.


The director Mathieu Bauer, director of the CDN de Montreuil from 2011 to 2021, signs here his first opera and situates this plot in the carelessness of the 1950s, jubilantly characterizing each of the characters: Tom Rakewell, anti-hero who squanders an unexpected legacy in gambling and brothels; Anne Trulove who is looking for true love; Nick Shadow, the Tempting Devil; Turkish Baba, the bearded lady… To sublimate this art of contrasts, Grant Llewellyn conducts his Orchester National de Bretagne and the chamber choir Mélisme(s), as well as a cast of soloists who are all Mozartians at heart.
