A dreamy new production
Created for the 2000 Salzburg Festival, Kaiji Sarriaho's haunting L'Amour de Loin (The love from afar) makes it's Metropolitan debut this season in a re-imagined production that sees ribbons of illumination cover the stage and orchestra as this poignant story of longing plays out to a lushly haunting score that will keep you mesmerized till the final flourish. Eric Owens stars as the brooding Prince of Blayre, Susanna Phillips is his lover Clemence and Tamara Mumford is the wise Pilgrim that unites them. Conducted by Susanna Malkki.
In 12th century Aquitaine, Jaufre, Prince of Blayre and part time troubadour dreams of an unreachable love. Obsessed with the possibility of a far away soulmate, somewhere in the world, he broods and idealizes, much to the mirth of his friends who waste no time mocking the poet Prince. But one day his dreaming pays off, a travelling Pilgrim asserts that they know just the woman to fulfil his longing, Clemence, a young woman who lives across the sea in Tripoli. Finally justified, Jaufre wishes to meet her, at any cost. Once the Pilgrim has played matchmaker, he sets off on a dangerous journey that will take him over the ocean to finally be in her arms.
But is sheer longing enough to base a relationship on? Find out in this beautifully poignant opera that is guaranteed not to leave a dry eye in the house.
