Thomas: Hamlet

Directed by Olivier Py

With Stéphane Degout, Lenneke Ruiten, Sylvie Brunet-Grupposo, Vincent Le Texier and Till Fechner

The famous story of Hamlet and Ophelia is played out between the opposite poles of real and feigned madness, love and avenge. After the murder of his father, Hamlet opposes the marriage of his mother and his uncle, at the expense of his beloved and himself. After their unanimously acclaimed Les Huguenots in 2011, Marc Minkowski and Olivier Py are continuing their highly personal exploration of the 19th-century French Grand Opéra repertoire.
