The great life lesson of a nearly 80-year-old Rameau: Les Boréades with Emmanuelle Haïmles Boréades is a carpe diem forged into the essence of dance, which tells us to prefer love to power and freedom of love. The most striking thing about this production is the intelligence of the director, which osmotically combines music, theater and ballet, combining expression, sensitivity, humor, narrative and psychology in a single gesture. Emmanuelle Haïm, who was already at the forefront of her Concert d'Astrée for Castor et Pollux in 2014, returns for these Boréades and asserts herself as a great interpreter of Rameau. A variety of colors and dynamics, sensitivity and power, cheering expressiveness, music that is cheerful and radiant, whispers and rumbles. The cheering sounds of the orchestra, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2020, is joined by the tremendous energy of the Concert d'Astrée choir: its dazzling vocal performance is accompanied by the astonishing theatrical power of the staging.
