The young woman of mixed heritage, with long brown hair, is about to play the role of Carmen in the play of the same name on the stage of the Opéra Garnier. But she is overcome by panic just as she is about to step onto the stage, worried that she will lose her sense of purpose once this dream comes true.
Thus begins a musical journey through the various roles of his career, set against spectacular backdrops. The first scene takes place at the bottom of the ocean, surrounded by seaweed and fish, to the famous aria “Song to the Moon” from the opera *Rusalka* (1901), the major work of composer Antonín Dvořák. The second scene takes place in a palace in Rome, set to the aria “Vissi d’arte” from *Tosca* (1900), the opera by Giacomo Puccini. Finally, after a scene set in a deconstructed Palais Garnier, in a post-apocalyptic atmosphere, the audience concludes the experience on the stage of the Opéra Garnier, where Céleste performs “La Habanera,” an aria from Georges Bizet’s *Carmen* (1875).
Harnessing the power of immersive technology, the experience breaks down the traditional boundaries of opera, broadening access to this art form for a more diverse audience and paying tribute to the operatic repertoire.
