]]> After a festive December featuring Les Fêtes d’Hébé by Rameau and the 80th birthday celebrations of William Christie on its stage, the Opéra-Comique dives into tragedy with its new production, running from February 8 to 16, 2025. Cherubini’s Médée, a masterpiece of darkness, offers one of the most harrowing yet thrilling roles of infanticide for its interpreters and has been embodied by the greatest sopranos, including Maria Callas.

The stunning Joyce El-Khoury takes on the role, supported by a predominantly female creative team. Laurence Equilbey conducts her Insula orchestra, while Marie-Ève Signeyrole directs the production. The cast also includes Lila Dufy, Marie-Andrée Bouchard-Lesieur, Edwin Crossley-Mercer, and Julien Behr.

Additionally, on January 23 and 24, 2025, the Opéra-Comique presents another, much rarer Médée, composed by Georg Anton Benda. This version features Sylvia Bergé, an actress from the Comédie-Française, alongside the artists of the Opéra-Comique Academy, in a new French translation.
