| Palais Opéra, Liège, Espace Bavière, Boulevard de la Constitution, 4020 Liège, Belgium Friday 7-Jun-13 08:00pm The première of Guillaume Tell by Grétry took place shortly after the French Revolution of 1789. The theme of a people in revolt against a repressive regime (in the original play, the Habsbourgs) will, therefore, have struck a chord with the Parisian audience at the time, as La Muette de Portici (Auber) did here, four decades later. But it was still necessary to transpose this icon into a comic opera. André-Modeste Grétry has highlighted, in this opera, the charms of harmony, melody and sparkling originality. A sweeping, profound style distinguishes its two finales, its situational arias, and, above all, its overture, in which he has managed to introduce the remarkable tune called the "Ranz des Vaches".
Guillaume Tell, the founding myth of Swiss freedom, is familiar to everyone: sentenced to prove his skill because he had refused to salute a bailiff's hat, the hero must pierce an apple placed on his son's head. In the Swiss legend, Guillaume Tell kills the notable to satisfy a thirst for vengeance. Is the freedom of men stronger than everything ?Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie Claudio Scimone, Conductor Stefano Mazzonis di Pralafera, Director Jean-guy Lecat, Set Designer Marc Laho, Baritone: Guillaume Tell (William) Anne-Catherine Gillet, Soprano: Madame Tell Lionel Lhote, Baritone: Gesler Liesbeth Devos, Soprano: Marie Patrick Delcour, Baritone: Melktal senior Stefan Cifolelli, Tenor: Melktal junior Roger Joakim, Baritone: Traveller | ||
