Médée et Jason - Midsummer Festival (Hardelot) (2023) - Médée et Jason - Midsummer Festival (Hardelot) (2023)

Description

"Parodic opera based on texts by Corneille, Carolet and Romagnesi and music by Charpentier, Lully, Rameau...

Medea through her tragic destiny filled with betrayals, poisons, magic, murders... can also make us laugh magnificently!

This is the bet of opera parodies, a successful genre in the Baroque era in which famous operas gave rise to many parody shows with very popular success! Thus were born several parodies of Medea and Jason, mocking the tragedy of Corneille as well as the opera of Marc-Antoine Charpentier and the lesser known one of François-Joseph Salomon. With this show, we make fun of the anti-hero Jason, as well as the megalomaniac King Creon, or even an actress who thinks she is a famous singer..."
