WAGNER, WOTAN, FRANÇOIS AND OTHERS François Salès

Alone on stage, François Salès proceeds to tell us the legend of the magic ring, put to music by Richard Wagner in the four operas of his Ring cycle. With nimble handling of his sampler, his English horn and his tongue, he introduces us with playful, poetic and political savvy to Wagner’s musical world. He deciphers the multi-layered legend of the Ring of the Nibelung, which is very similar to that of The Lord of the Rings, and seizes on the opportunity to recall childhood memories at the Marseille opera house. From family anecdotes to the world unrest, from the disenchantment of the gods to the Big Bang, the entire universe is invited into this “chamber opera”.
