L'Isola Disabitata - Teatro Alighieri di Ravenna / Opéra de Dijon

Two sisters are abandoned on a desert island. Costanza, the eldest, engraves on a rock the tale of her sad destiny. Silvia, the youngest, raised in harmony with Nature, faces the brutal revelation of a amorous commotion when two men, Enrico and Gernando, land on the island looking for them.

La nuit de l'océan

After the disappearance at sea of a young fisherman, his childhood friend and his mother begin an ambiguous relationship.

Police

Mangin, a police inspector in Paris, leans hard on informants to get evidence on three Tunisian brothers who traffic in drugs. He arrests one, Simon, and his girl-friend Noria. Simon's brothers go to their lawyer. He springs Noria, who promptly steals 2 million francs that belong to the Tunisians. They suspect her of the theft; her life as well as the lawyer's is in danger. Meanwhile, Noria is playing with both the lawyer and Mangin's affections. Mangin is mercurial anyway: intimidating and bloodying suspects, falling for a police commission trainee before flipping for Noria, wearing his emotions on his sleeve. Can he save the lawyer and Noria, and can he convince her to love?

Rendez-vous

Nina is a young, carefree actress who arrives in Paris searching for her big break. There, she finds drama both on- and offstage as she becomes involved with three men: a mild-mannered real-estate agent who offers her stability, a bad-boy actor who lives dangerously on the edge, and an intense theater director who casts her in a production of “Romeo and Juliet.” As opening night approaches, the emotional extremes of Nina’s love life fuel her art.
