The role of Alcina is carried by the Canadian star soprano Karina Gauvin, and the troupe which will be on the stage of the theater of Caen comes from all over the world under the leadership of the Czech director Jiri Herman.
The story of this Alcina with Handel’s music is mysterious, even dreamlike, since Alcina is an enchantress who transforms into plants, animals or streams all the men she attracts to her paradise island. Many twists and turns in this show where it is above all a question of the quest for true love.
In the scenography, all the characters gravitate around Alcina, with in particular dancers who play the roles of animals who perform real feats with many discoveries to be discovered during performances in Caen. A show that mixes drama, laughter and tenderness.
