Les Trois Divines – Humour and opera
Lovers, servants, rivals and especially complicitous, the Trois Divines offer a
new voyage into the feminine universe on the occasion of an audition session mounted
by Loretta Divines, the Grande Dame Divine. Catharina Divine, soprano, and Sarah
Divyne, contralto, turn up for an audition and quickly plunge into a competitive
struggle that causes their feathers to ruffle. We listen to their frolicking in
the Two Cats by Rossini, then the Voix rivales by Bordèse. Following these incidents
they are drawn into complicity at all cost, notably in the airs of La Périchole
and La Veuve joyeuse, Offenbach, Bizet’s Carmen, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and the
classics from Berstein’s West Side Story.
