Henry Purcell&#8217;s music will be accompanied by spoken texts taken from Virgil&#8217;s Aeneid and Shakespeare&#8217;s Richard III, Macbeth, and The Tempest. The latter is a master of fantastical plots, using language as the gods play with the fate of men. A prologue and interludes are thus recreated in the form of scenes with spoken texts, arias, choruses, and dances, blending the arts into a total spectacle. All the artists on stage, in a true spirit of ensemble, participate in the same gesture, taking turns as singer-actor, ensemble singer, actor, and dancer. The sea is the main character, within which human emotions struggle grotesquely and magnificently. It is at once the music, the movement, and the setting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Construction des d\u00e9cors et costumes : Op\u00e9ra de Limoges <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Coproduction Clermont Auvergne Op\u00e9ra &#8211;
