Cassandre

The mythical work "Cassandre," performed by the legendary French actress Fanny Ardant, is a "spoken opera" or monodrama with music by composer Michael Jarrell. The production conveys the inner drama of a woman standing alone in the face of destruction, looking back at her life and the truths she has spoken. Director Hervé Loichemol creates a grand stage piece based on Christa Wolf's novel "Cassandra," combining music, speech, and emotional depth. Critics highlight the piercing power of the performance and the rare fusion of orchestral sound with raw human emotion — it is a play about a woman's voice that resonates even as the world collapses.
