Soloists from the Ictus Ensemble will be performing John Rea’s reorchestration of Berg’s masterpiece.
In a version full of versatility and sonorous illusions, it gives this exceptional team of singers
free rein in their expression. Well-versed in Büchner’s work, this will be Jean-François
Sivadier’s second operatic production at the Opéra de Lille (following Madama Butterfly in 2004).
