To cultivate your freedom is to cultivate your curiosity. The incredible rebirth of the Athens Opera Houseįor his second attempt on a lyrical stage, the great theater director Wajdi Mouawad, for whom Greek tragedy has no secrets, a career in the church, Lays was recruited by the Paris Opra in 1779.

Unfortunately, the dramatic tension is weak there, Achilles heel of so many musicians who dreamed of opera but did not have a sense of the theater. Franois Lay, better known under the stage name Lays (14 February 1758 30 March 1831), was a French baritone and tenor opera singer. Enesco put all his soul into it, sometimes awkwardly, but one cannot help but be touched by this opera which recreates the journey of Oedipus, from Corinth to Colone. Neither entirely French, nor frankly Balkan, his music creates bewitching climates by its unclassifiable harmonies, which move away from any classical scheme without appearing dissonant. Created in 1936 at the Palais Garnier, the unclassifiable masterpiece of the most French of Romanian composers has just entered the repertoire of the Opéra Bastille and obtained a comforting public success.
