Marguerite - 1896 - New York History , Info & More

Presented in French.



“When I was a little tiny boy...



When I was a little tiny girl...



When I was a little tiny fish in the sea...



A little tiny fish in my mother...



I was just a wee bit of a boy...



A wee bit of a girl.”







So begins the journey:



With glimpses of yesterday, seeds of poems, bits of words, familiar lullabies.



Stars and planets sing their bewitching song.



The accordion sounds like the sea.



Pretty petals shimmer in the moonlight...



A little, a lot, passionately.



And on the other side of the world, Margaret smiles.



Marguerite started out as a theatre exercise for young artists, several of whom had taken the workshop in playwriting for very young audiences offered by Petits bonheurs and coordinated by Jasmine Dubé. At the turn of each season they got together to cultivate and tend their garden, and they unveiled the first young shoots of Marguerite at the Festival Petits bonheurs in May 2009.

BWW Review: BERLIOZ's DAMNATION OF FAUST Returns To The Met
by George Weinhouse - Jan 28, 2020


Saturday afternoon saw the return of Berlioz's DAMNATION OF FAUST to the Met, not seen there since 2009. Because of logistical considerations it was mounted in concert form on the stage rather than in Robert Lepage's previous staging. The concert style proved to be an extremely effective format for what Berlioz called a 'legende dramatique', a work that did not neatly fit into either the opera or oratorio category.
