L'Enfant et les Sortilèges: Sung in French with English, French, Italian, German and Japanese surtitles
Recorded on 4 October 2023
Puccini's Suor Angelica is a touching opera in which the loneliness and despair of Angelica, separated from her child, and the miracles are depicted with the richness of Puccini's music. Other highlights include the exquisite ensemble of female soloists and chorus, the breathless dialogue between Angelica and La zia principessa, and the dramatic expression of Angelica's choice to die out of despair.
In contrast, Called a "Lyric Fantasy" by the composer, L'Enfant et les Sortilèges (The Child and the Spells) by Ravel is a fantasy merging elements of both opera and ballet. The story develops from a child's perspective, and can be enjoyed as a fable for children and adults alike. With brilliant music, the trajectory of a child's emotional adventures is playfully described.
The production was directed by Aguni Jun, one of Japan's leading opera director's, renowned for his meticulous reading of the libretto. Please look out for his delicate portrayals of individual characters, spectacular set changes, and playful elements scattered throughout these opera.
Numajiri Ryusuke, one of Japan's foremost opera conductors, conducted the production. The role of Angelica is performed by Chiara Isotton, who specializes in dramatic roles, and the L'Enfant is performed by Chloé Briot, who has sung this role many times to great acclaim, and La zia principessa/Maman is performed by Saito Junko, renowned for her passionate and resolute expression. We hope you will enjoy these two operas with the keyword "love between mother and child" as well as the contrasts created by the double bill.
