SUMMARY:Berkeley\, CA (La Belle et la Bête)
DESCRIPTION:https://calperformances.org/events/2025-26/theater/opera-parallele-la-belle-et-la-bete-by-philip-glass-nicole-paiement-artistic-director-and-conductor/ \nOpera Parallèle La Belle et la Bête Nicole Paiement\, artistic director and conductor Brian Staufenbiel\, director and scenic designer Cal Performances Company Debut About this PerformanceProgramby Philip Glass Libretto by the composer Based on the film by Jean Cocteau \nFeaturing Hadleigh Adams\, baritone (La Bête/Avenant) Full cast to be announced  \nThis astonishingly original presentation of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast blurs the distinctions between film and live opera\, merging Jean Cocteau’s classic 1946 romantic fantasy with Philip Glass’ mesmerizing 1994 score. Glass composed the music as a new soundtrack to the film\, transforming the original spoken French dialogue into sung libretto.  \nNow Opera Parallèle has responded to the dreamlike\, subconscious elements of the story with its own new film and stage direction\, further blurring the barriers between the characters onscreen and the singers on stage. The work asks\, What is true beauty? What is good and evil? Can we go beyond appearances and discover the beauty that lies inside the soul?  \n“A multi-veined phantasmagoria of sights and sounds\, drama and pathos and humor” (San Francisco Chronicle).  \nPerformed in French with English subtitles  \nThis performance is made possible in part by Robert Ellis. \nVideo \nBeyond the Stage Related PostsThe lead actors of Opera Parallele’s La Belle et La Bête perform onstage\, with La Bête in the background\, gazing at Belle as she sits in a chair\, wearing a somber expression.
