Immerse yourself in the world of the opera "Passion" with Teodor Currentzis at the Beggrov House

Teodor Currentzis and the musicAeterna orchestra invite music lovers to a concert version of the opera "Passion" by Pascal Dusapin, which will take place in the historic building of the Beggrov House. This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of contemporary opera and enjoy the work of one of France's leading composers.

The opera "Passion", created by Dusapin in 2006-2007, is a kind of commentary on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The libretto, written in collaboration with Rita de Letteris, reveals the story of the nameless hero and heroine, whose dialogues unfold on the border of life and death. The opera's music, combining elements of Italian and French baroque, is described by the composer as an "emotional journey", where the characters' feelings are conveyed through dance and singing.

Anna Guseva's production was first presented at the Diaghilev Festival and aroused great interest among the audience. The Guardian music critics included "Passion" in the list of 20 most important works of the 21st century. The score of the opera echoes the style of avant-garde composers Olivier Messiaen and Iannis Xenakis, whose student Dusapin was.

The concert will take place in the cozy atmosphere of the Beggrov House, which is famous for its excellent acoustics. Here, every spectator will be able to feel the full depth of the musical narrative and enjoy the skill of the performers.
