Jarrell: Bérénice backdrop

Jarrell: Bérénice 2018 Directed by Claus Guth

World premiere of Michael Jarrell's new creation live at the Palais Garnier, Paris on September 26th, 2018

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.
