INTERVIEW - The former diplomat, comic book author and filmmaker, signs the staging of “La Nuit des rois”, a show about Schumann's ultimate ballads, which will reopen La Seine Musicale on May 19.


By launching himself almost a year before the start of the pandemic in his first lyrical staging, at the request of the conductor Laurence Equilbey, Antonin Baudry had no idea of ​​the crisis which particularly loomed over the world of culture. … And even less suspected that their show, scheduled for around May 19, would be part of the creations accompanying the reopening of the stages.

In the midst of a last-minute reshuffle - following the detection of a Covid case among the soloists -, an encounter with a jack-of-all-trades who says he is definitely converted to the joys and unforeseen events of live performance.

LE FIGARO.

- After comics and cinema, you are now a lyrical director.
