This is the first time that the Ensemble intercontemporain has ordered a musical tale from a composer – and the second time that Lucia Ronchetti adapted the famous Carlo Collodi tale to music: created in Rouen in February 2017, Les aventures de Pinocchio are based on the long experience of the Italian composer in the field of musical theater and works for children. This musical tale, first intended for young audiences, pits the main character – incarnated by the young Juliette Allen, soprano – with five soloists of the EIC, representing her various interlocutors. Not to mention the active participation of the children of the public, provided for by the partition and layout of Matthieu Roy!
