On the cultivez-vous.nice.fr programme:
Akhnaten by Philip Glass by the Opéra Nice Côte d'Azur
Akhenaten was one of the most prominent pharaohs in ancient Egypt. He succeeded in imposing one of the first monotheisms in history, making Ra, the sun god, the one and only deity of his kingdom. Based on Philip Glass's libretto, the Nice Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Leo Warynski, will play Akhnaten, accompanied by the Nice Opera Choir, in a choreography and staging by Lucinda Childs. Bringing together singing, dance and music, Akhnaten is a complete show to see with the family.
Cleopatra at the Lascaris Palace
The Palais Lascaris has six pieces of a French hanging frome the history of Cleopatra from the 17th century, as well as a seventh piece(The Peach)deposited by the National Renaissance Museum. If the dating of weaving is complex, the boxes are attributed to Isaac Moillon (1614-1673) and would have been made shortly before 1650. The subject of this hanging ise very popular in the 17th century. Cleopatra enjoyed great iconographic success in Francee from the middle of the 16th century, following translations of texts by Plutarch and Dion Cassius. Its history thus develops through tragedies, poems or tapestries. In fact, there are other hangings of the history ofe Cleopatra in Europe in the 17th century, such as those of Karl Mander II (1579-1623), Juste d'Egmont (1601-1674) or Charles Person (1609-1667).
