The Conservatoire’s Opera Workshop presents Cendrillon, by Jules Massenet
For their major lyrical production of the year, the students of the Conservatoire de musique turn into princes, princesses, godmothers and stepmothers in this adaptation by Jules Massenet of Charles Perreault’s tale. Up there with Werther and Manon among the composer’s greatest successes, Cendrillon seduces with its lyricism, its emblematic tunes (“Que mes soeurs sont heureuses”, “Ah! douce enfant”, and “Enfin, je suis ici”), its sparkling colours and its streak of humour treated with delicacy and elegance in music by the composer. This musical fairy tale is presented three evenings with two distinct casts.

(Cancelled) Amir Amiri and Jean-Michel Pilc
The santur is a struck string instrument, just like the cimbalom and the piano, of which it is a sort of ancestor. As several of its strings can be played simultaneously and successively in “open chord”, it offers a great wealth of resonances and harmonics, which predisposes it to modal music. It is therefore very well suited to jazz improvisation, which both instrumentalists indulge in with renewed pleasure. Amir and Jean-Michel indeed crossed swords for the first time during an improv duo set last November.
