Synopsis
The great romantic opera by Wagner… and by the Blankenship sisters who sumptuously staged it: you are quickly carried away by the storm of feelings and the fury of the waves.
Under the baton of Rudolf Piehlmayer, the artists evolve in a real swimming pool on stage and invite the spectators to a true immersion in the emotion of a myth that has become universal.
Filmed on June 11th and 13th, 2019 at the Théâtre Graslin in Nantes.
