A rare revival of Tartare de Salieri, the only opera written by the French playwright Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, is set to take place at the Royal Opera in Paris from October 10 to October 18, 2026. This production is directed by Theotime Langlois de Swarte and staged by Jean-Romain Vesperini, with support from Jean-Christophe Mast. The set design is by Bruno de Lavenere, costumes by Alain Blanchot, and lighting by Christophe Chaupin. Video design is handled by Etienne Guiol. Tartare de Salieri is a tragedy in one prologue and five acts, based on a libretto by Beaumarchais. It was first performed at the Royal Academy of Music in Paris in 1787. The story follows the cruel King of Ormuz, who sends his chief general, Tarare, to fight at the borders with the intention of eliminating him and taking his promised bride for his harem. Tarare returns victorious, leading his troops to depose the sultan and place him on the throne. The opera's themes reflect Enlightenment ideals, emphasizing that individuals should be judged by their qualities rather than their birth. The production features a cast of notable performers, including Reinoud Van Mechelen as Tarare and his shadow, Eleonore Pancrazi as Astasie and her shadow, Jean-Francois Lapointe as Atar and his shadow, Gwendoline Blondeel as Nature and Spinette, Enguerrand de Hys as Calpigi and his shadow, Alexandre Adra as Arthenee, the Genius of Fire, Jean-Gabriel Saint-Martin as Urson, Alexandre Baldo as Altamort and his shadow, a eunuch, Clara Penalva as Elamir, the female shadow, Isaure Brunner as the shadow of Spinette, and Jeremie Delvert as the shadow of Arthenee, a slave and a priest. Some of these performers are part of the Academy of the Royal Opera's promotion for the 2025/2027 season, marked with an asterisk. The chorus and orchestra are drawn from the Royal Opera itself. The costumes are crafted by the Caraco Workshop in Paris, while the sets are made by the Devineau Workshop. Wigs and accessories are provided by the Royal Opera and Chateau de Versailles Spectacles. The performance will be in French, with French and English surtitles for audience understanding. The first part lasts 1 hour 15 minutes, followed by an intermission, and the second part is also 1 hour 15 minutes. This production is a collaboration between the Royal Opera, Chateau de Versailles Spectacles, and Les Productions de l'Opera Royal.
