Synopsis of Les Enfants du Levant
Durant l'hiver 1861, un convoi d'enfants quitte la prison de la Roquette de Paris pour rejoindre à pied le sud de la France. Aucun d'entre eux ne connaît l'île sur laquelle ils sont transférés... Aucun d'entre eux ne se doute de ce qui les attend. Car l'Ile du Levant, aussi belle et sauvage soit-elle, n'a rien d'un petit paradis. La colonie de Sainte-Anne, l'une de ces nombreuses "colonies agricoles" instituées par Napoléon III, ne tarde pas à dévoiler son secret. Avec cet opéra d'Isabelle Aboulker, le Grand Théâtre resserre ses liens avec les jeunes en les invitant à etre à la fois acteurs, chanteurs, héros et, bien entendu, spectateurs d'un opéra.
In the winter of 1861, a convoy of children depart Roquette Prison in Paris toward the south of France. None among them knows the island on which they are transferred. No one suspects what awaits them. Although beautiful and wild, Ile du Levant is anything but a paradise. The colony of Saint-Anne, one of several "agricultural colonies" established by Napoleon III, soon reveals its secrets. With this opera by Isabelle Aboulker, Grand Théâtre de Genève strengthens its ties with the young by inviting them as actors, singers, heros and, of course, spectators of opera.
