We knew about blind love, but it can also be one-eyed... Coveting the beautiful nymph Galatea unsuccessfully, the cyclops Polyphemus, son of Poseidon, is ready to unleash his fury. But the boundless courage of a lovestruck shepherd and an adventurer named Ulysses will thwart the titan's plans... Written for the two most famous castrati of the time, Senesino and Farinelli, Porpora's Polyphemus borrows from Homer and Ovid to unleash passions even more intensely, in the air as well as on the seas. It associates the couple formed by Ulysses and Calypso with that of Acis and Galatea, to better tell the troubled love of nymphs for mortals... And the anger of a wounded superhuman.
In Bruno Ravella's staging, the monsters and pyrotechnics beloved in the 18th century have become Technicolor escapades. They are magics reminiscent of Hollywood in the 1950s, with their saturated colors, exoticism, and both refined and naive special effects. In this world of strong emotions and high contrasts, Emmanuelle Haïm, at the head of the Concert d'Astrée, finds her favorite period again and brings out with brilliance the colors of a pearl from the Baroque repertoire, still unpublished in France.
Emmanuelle Haïm, Musical Direction Bruno Ravella, Staging
