In Seville, men know only one name: Carmen. The sensual cigar maker ignites the imagination and turns heads. Carmen remains an inexhaustible masterpiece. Born under the pen of Mérimée, the attractive gypsy has become, thanks to Bizet's opera, the universal symbol of female freedom claimed loud and clear, without compromise. Director Jean-François Sivadier reconnects with the essence of this burning drama in a festive and theatrical spectacle.

For his first major choreographic work, Bruno Bouché takes up the narrative and emblematic motifs of the Wim Wenders cult film before exploring the mystery of the incarnation in the second part - development of the "to be continued ..." which closes the movie. This large fresco, bringing together all the dancers of the Ballet of the Opéra national du Rhin, thus balances between poetic evocation and exaltation of the weightless body.

Franz Schubert forever marked the history of music with his romantic imprint. Despite his early death at the age of thirty-one, he is the author of a flowing work of more than a thousand pieces. In a scenography by the painter Silvère Jarrosson, the dancer-choreographers of the Ballet de l'OnR deploy their artistic worlds through a musical dramaturgy around the figure and the work of Schubert imagined by the pianist Bruno Anguera Garcia.

Composed by Giuseppe Verdi a few months before “Rigoletto”, “Stiffelio” provoked the wrath of censorship, who viewed with a very negative eye this story that combined adultery and religious fanaticism. Sacrificed and crippled on the altar of decorum, its original version was only rediscovered at the end of the 1960s. This little-known masterpiece is presented in a torrential lock-up imagined by director Bruno Ravella , with Andrea Sanguineti conducting.
