Synopsis

Composed by Arthur Honegger based on the booklet of Paul Claudel, the oratorio “Jeanne au Bucher” has been recorded on july 2006 in the National Opera of Montpellier.

Don Kent invites us to discover the work, commented by Jean-Paul Scarpitta, the director, Alain Altinoglu, musical director and Sylvie Testud interprter of Jeanne.

Each one in his area, they enlighten for us the work genesis, to the crossing of theater and opera and of his symbolic.

The oratorio, acheved in 1945 in a devastated France, has taken a prophetic dimension :

extending the symbolic opposition between light and darkness which enliven the staging of Scarpitta, Don Kent helps us to understand this work definitely belonging to theater.
