Opéra De Paris - Notre-Dame de Paris (TBC)

From Victor Hugo’s rich novel, Roland Petit creates a vivid and theatrical fresco of colour and intensity/

Between Esmeralda in love with Captain Phoebus, Frollo tormented by his desire and the hunchback

Quasimodo, a tragic story unfolds against a medieval backdrop, where a fickle crowd swings between joy

and cruelty.

Combining neoclassical dance and the spirit of music hall, Roland Petit surrounded himself with the

leading creatives talents of the time: Maurice Jarre for the music, René Allio for the sets and Yves Saint

Laurent for the costumes, which he wanted “as colourful as the stained glass windows of a

cathedral”.
