Et Vogue L'Opera
Eastern Mediterannean Cruise from Suez (Egypt) to Venice (Italy)
May 10, 2012 - May 21, 2012
11 nights/12 days on board l'Austral
"An invitation to journey from the East to the West, our "Vogue L'Opera" 2012 cruise begins with extended extracts from Guiseppe Verdi's Aida, commissioned by Ismail Pacha.
For this 7th edition, Diane Polya-Zeitline, Vichy Opera's artistic director is paying us the honor of being our Patron.
Aboard we have the vocal and speech specialist Elizabeth Fresnel who will teach you all there is to know about the voice and secrets of memory. The year 2012 is also an opportunity for us to celebrate the centenary of the death of one of France's great composers, Jules Massenet. In his company, we invite you to discover his great heroines, Thais, Herodiade, Cleopatra, Sappho and Charlotte from Werther interpereted by BRigitte Hool and Marie Kalinine.
No opera cruise would be complete without an Orientalism programme linked into this itinerary and artistic movement and illustrated by Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio, Cosi Fan Tutte, Rossini's The Italian in Algiers, and not forgetting If I Were King, Madame Butterfly or Turandot in the company of Philippe Do and Yvan Rebeyrol.
As dance is so closely associated with the world of opera, this year we are delighted to welcome the dancer and choreographer Eugenie Andrin for a highly original evening where the beauty of the voice and the grace of dance become one.
Finally as you drift into Venice at the end of the cruise, we will also be offering you a rare meeting with the counter-tenor Fabrice Di Falco for an evening of castrato singing." - Jean-Francois Vinciguerra - Artistic Director - Et Vogue l'Opera
