Bérenice: Paris Opera

About the Event

Don't miss the opportunity to experience the world premiere of Jarrell's Bérénice after Jean Racine under the baton of Philippe Jordan.

Titus and Berenice love each other under the watchful eye of Antiochus, the hopeless lover, they try yet refuse to understand each other. Taking up the “majestic sadness” of these alexandrines, among the greatest verses in the French language, Michael Jarrell amplifies the power of words, making them a vehicle for spaces and identities that, from Rome to Jerusalem, are unceasingly questioned.

In French with French and English surtitles
