Malibran Theatre
Les Chevaliers de la Table ronde
Florimond Ronger’s opéra-bouffe known as Hervé, in the first Italian performance, which took place at the Malibran theatre in February 2016.
First staged in 1866 at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens and considered the first of the author’s four masterpieces, it is proposed here in a transcription for thirteen singers and twelve instrumentalists
edited by Thibault Perrine and in the new installation of the Center de musique romantique française of Palazzetto Bru Zane with the musical direction of Christophe Grapperon, direction,
scenes and costumes to Pierre-André Weitz, and as interpreters the singers and instrumentalists of the Les Brigands company.
Irony and flavor are the ingredients that make Les Chevaliers de la Table ronde one of the masterpieces in the genre. To be ‘targeted’ are the heroes of the Breton cycle, knights and gentlewomen
of the most famous chivalrich poems who become dazzling and rapacious ladies, protagonists of exhilarating and fun-filled situations.
