Only the Sound Remains: Opéra National de Paris
O wydarzeniu
Discover two new short operas based on the plays from Japanese No theater and music by Kaija Saariaho, both directed by renowned theater director Peter Sellars starring Philippe Jaroussky and Davone Tines.
Heavenly sounds and voices coalesce on stage during the two performances of Only the Sound Remains, accompanied by the timbre of the lute, the movements of dance and the intangible noise of the wind.
