Ravel:Ravel ''Laps ja lummutised''. ''Hane-ema'' / prantsuse keeles
“Ravel:Ravel” is a poetic game, full of fantasy, where you can cheat for beauty and where Ravel’s affair with music ends up in a crazy whirlwind of spectacle, dreamt of by children and yearned for by grown-ups.
Within one evening two pieces by Ravel will be performed: lyric opera fantasy “The Child and the Spells” and a dance production “Mother Goose” (with one intermission). The performances are sung in Estonian or French, subtitles in Estonian and English.
Premiere at the Estonian National Opera on June 18, 2021
Besides, what is inside the wallpaper that so invitingly peels off the wall?
Speaking squirrels, sleeping beauties, frogs as chorus singers, scary numbers, tiptoeing curtains, teacups as tourists and screaming flames – what an amazing blend of dreamy revelations and pieces of real life, opera and ballet as well as stage lights and behind the stage sounds.
What about the Mother Goose? Will she manage to squeeze herself on stage or into your dream?
“Mother Goose” is a free interpretation of Maurice Ravel’s ballet by a free-lance stage director and choreographer Renate Keerd. According to a French custom, a mother goose is a nickname for a nurse, who tells children fairy-tales. Keerd takes the classical libretto and turns it upside down. Her original story is based on Ravel’s orchestrated version of the piece. In her staging, Keerd concentrates on paradoxes of our lives, mixing it with her fantastic, absurd and witty style.
“Ravel:Ravel” is a game where you can cheat for beauty and where Ravel’s love affair with music ends up in a crazy whirlwind of spectacle, dreamt of by children and yearned for by grown-ups.
