No(s) Dames

Théophile Alexandre & Quatuor Zaïde

To women the musical direction, to man the agonies of love… By reversing the roles, the countertenor Théophile Aexandre and the Quatuor Zaïde sign a singular and troubling genderless reinvention of diva’s arias: a universal tribute to opera’s heroines, celebrating for the first time the beauty of these masterpieces beyond their gender setreotypes. Carmen, Manon, Maria, Norma, Salomé, Violetta…

No(s) Dames unite 23 operatic icons sharing a tragic sorority, in an exquisite corpse creating a surreal and heartbreaking dialogue between the dames of Bizet, Verdi, Rossini, Mozart, Bellini, Piazzolla or Tchaikovsky.
