More Information
The music of Robinson Crusoe reveals a wealth of imagination and colour, brought to life by the Orchestre National de Bretagne and conductor Guillaume Tourniaire, one of the greatest specialists in French music.
Who better than Laurent Pelly to stage this little-known piece and find the subtle balance between laughter and poetry, while questioning our relationship with the unknown and the foreign?
This event is made possible thanks to the Opera of Rennes and the support of the Brittany Region, the Rennes Metropolitan Area, regional television stations, SG Grand Ouest, and the Government of Jersey.
Comic opera in 3 acts by Jacques Offenbach
Musical direction: Guillaume Tourniaire. Sung and spoken in French, with French Surtitles.
