La traviata
The second LabOpéra Dordogne-Périgord (2023) gave me the opportunity to take on the role of Dr Grenvil.
I was able to refine every aspect of the role:
- the musical aspects under the direction of Chloé Meyzié and for the phrasing thanks to the sound advice of the vocal coach, Chloé Elasmar;
- the theatrical and visual aspects thanks to the work of our director Gersende Michel and that of the lycée Lomet in Agen on the costumes. A special thanks goes to my barber, Andraws Alqas Patros, for helping me in designing of a Suvarov-style beard (a link, in my eyes, between the Verdian 19th century and Flora’s whimsical, contemporary cabaret, as desired by Gersende Michel).
