What drives men and women to risk their own lives to save those of others? Fuoco Sacro tells the story of the Vigili del Fuoco, the Italian fire department, and does it through the voices of the people who, over half a century of history, have tackled with competence and a spirit of self-sacrifice the greatest calamities that Italy has tragically had to experience at firsthand.

Il tabarro is a tale of jealousy and murder between Michele, his young wife Giorgetta and her lover Luigi, set aboard a barge on the Seine. Suor Angelica tells the story of the nun Angelica’s familial loss, sacrifice and suicide. Gianni Schicchi is an opera full of trickery, greed and romance as a family dispute breaks out over a missing will. The Olivier-nominated Royal Opera production featuring a trio of one-act Puccini operas was first performed together on the same bill at Covent Garden in September 2011, and was acclaimed by the Telegraph as "an operatic treat... three hours of gorgeous music that allows big voices to let emotion rip" and by the Evening Standard as "a triumphant vindication of the social awareness and dramatic power of Puccini's triptych". The trio of operas offers a panorama of emotions, with the dark and foreboding Il tabarro and comic Gianni Schicchi bookending a heart-wrenching Suor Angelica.

In Benoît Jacquot’s production, Manet’s Olympia dominates the stage of the Opéra Bastille. In 1863, the painting caused a scandal: the prostitute awaits her client, her expression proud, her demeanour assured. Is this Violetta? Like Olympia, Verdi’s most celebrated heroine surrenders to the spectator just as she surrenders to love, going so far as to die on stage, a woman’s ultimate sacrifice for her lover. Or might it be the spectator who strips her bare and intrudes upon her privacy, in the image of this milieu of social voyeurism? Whatever the case, these two women regard us with defiance and subjugate those who cannot help but look at them.

Alfredo Germont and the courtesan Violetta Valéry fall in love at a party in Violetta's Paris salon. Alfredo is determined to cure Violetta of her tuberculosis, and the couple leave Paris and begin a contented life in the country. But Violetta's happiness is destroyed when Alfredo's father Giorgio Germont pays her a visit. Richard Eyre's stunning naturalistic production contrasts the superficial glamour of 19th-century Parisian high life with intimate scenes for Violetta with Alfredo and Giorgio Germont, culminating in the heart-breaking final act.

Verdi’s opera ‘La traviata’ directed by David McVicar and conducted by Renato Palumbo at Teatro Real Madrid in 2015. Verdi’s masterpiece is the tragic story of a high-society courtesan who renounces life itself to protect the honour of her lover, demonstrating with her self-sacrifice a nobility so lacking from the hypocritical bourgeois society that abuses and then rejects her.

Existe-t-il plus bel hommage à celui qui inventa le réalisme fantastique en littérature que d’en faire le personnage principal d’un opéra où toute vraisemblance est abolie et où l’imaginaire impose ses propres règles ? Dans l’oeuvre d’Offenbach, Hoffmann, présenté comme un poète et compositeur maudit, évoque ses souvenirs amoureux et nous conduit dans un univers où les frontières entre rêve et réalité sont poreuses. Le metteur en scène Robert Carsen se joue magistralement du théâtre dans le théâtre et, à travers un spectaculaire procédé de mise en abyme, nous dévoile les coulisses de l’opéra.

Vers la fin du xviie siècle, dans un couvent près de Sienne. L’opéra s’ouvre par des scènes montrant des aspects typiques de la vie au couvent - toutes les sœurs chantent des hymnes, la monitrice gronde deux sœurs laïques, toutes se rassemblent pour la récréation dans la cour. Les sœurs se réjouissent car, comme l’explique la maîtresse des Novices, c’est le premier des trois soirs où, chaque année, le soleil couchant frappe la fontaine de sorte que son eau devient dorée. Cet événement rappelle aux sœurs l’une des leurs qui est morte, Bianca Rosa. Sœur Geneviève suggère qu’elles versent de l’eau dorée sur sa tombe.

After Tosca (2019), which marked Puccini’s entry into its repertoire, the Festival celebrates the centenary of the composer’s death this year by putting on his ‘Japanese tragedy’ Madame Butterfly: the cruel story of a vulnerable but strong and wilful heroine, driven by her blind perseverance to ritual suicide. By enveloping her with a bright lyricism and a supremely refined orchestration, Puccini reaches the heart of his artistic identity – reminding us of the real pleasure of tears. Conducting the orchestra of the Opéra de Lyon, Daniele Rustioni offers the finest of backdrops to Ermonela Jaho, whose rare combination of force and delicacy has made her a go-to choice in this wonderful yet harrowing role, in which she is making her prized debut in Aix.

Giacomo Puccini’s final operatic masterpiece, Turandot, is one of the repertory’s most extravagant spectacles. And in the Met’s production, by legendary director Franco Zeffirelli, this tale of an icy Chinese princess and the mysterious prince vying to win her love takes on larger-than-life proportions. This performance, recorded as part of the company’s series of Live in HD cinema transmissions, stars Ukrainian soprano Liudmyla Monastyrska in the formidable title role, going head-to-head with tenor Yonghoon Lee as Prince Calàf, who must correctly answer Turandot’s three riddles or forfeit his head. Maestro Marco Armiliato, a veteran of nearly 500 Met performances, takes the podium to lead a stunning cast, which also features soprano Ermonela Jaho as the self-sacrificing Liù and bass-baritone Ferruccio Furlanetto as Calàf’s father, the blind king Timur.
