The production of L'Enfant et les sortilèges by Grégoire Pont and James Bonas has been staged in Toulon as part of the opening season of the local opera house. Originally created in Lyon in 2016, this production uses a large screen to visually separate the child character from the orchestra. Pont, one of the directors, draws the title of Maurice Ravel's opera above the child using white chalk, adding a tactile and artistic element to the performance. The set design features a black cube and relies heavily on 2D video mapping, a technique that projects animated images onto surfaces to create a magical and immersive atmosphere. The show incorporates a variety of imaginative elements, such as a Comtoise clock (a type of traditional French clock), a groaning tree, fireflies, and the golden hair of the Princess. These elements are brought to life through a synchronized interaction between the performers and the visual projections. The production allows for a wide range of interpretive freedom, with the interpreters—actors and performers—engaging with the virtual world both within and beyond the confines of the blackboard used in the set design. Victoire Bunel is highlighted as a central figure in the performance, with other notable contributions from Patrick Bolleire, Lise Nougier, Lila Dufy, Doris Lamprecht, and Fabien Hyon. The Opera of Toulon Choir and Orchestra, conducted by Victorien Vanoosten, provided a fine and cohesive sound. The performance of Petrouchka, a ballet by Igor Stravinsky, was also included in the program, leading to some speculation about possible thematic or musical links between Petrouchka and L'Enfant et les sortilèges. The combination of innovative visual design, strong performances, and a well-conducted orchestra made for a memorable opening to the season. The integration of classical music with modern projection techniques offers a fresh take on Ravel's work, appealing to both traditional opera audiences and those looking for a more contemporary experience.
