Rediscovering La Traviata as well as the museum in this context was a wonderful experience! The performance of the artists was just as sublime as the decor. I recommend ⭐️
A superb immersive experience where one shares the space with the artists and where every moment is unique. It is a must-experience!
A suspended moment, immersed in a splendid private hotel, very close to the artists
During a trip to Paris we went to see La Traviata de l’Opera a Palazzo at the Jacquemart André Museum of Arts. In the courtyard, in front of the museum, no camellias but a magnificent mass of white irises all in bloom! Great evening! It was our first experience with this concept. A trio of musicians (violin, cello, piano), three singers (Violetta, Alfredo, M. Germont: soprano, tenor and baritone) and only 80 spectators in the museum's lavish lounges. Artists move only 1 or 2 meters from us, without microphone: the immersion is total. As difficult as it seems to adapt the first act of the Traviata to this small orchestra, the last two acts are perfect and give off a lot of emotion. Special mention for the baritone! The setting is sublime: being able to visit the treasures of 18th century painting with a flute of champagne, or being physically witnesses to the scene between Alfredo and Violetta among the guests during the second intermission, is something unique. Of course, there are no choirs or large orchestras or conceptual staging, but proximity compensates for everything. Seeing Violetta die under master paintings is no more anachronistic than some modern stagings of the Opera! The price (similar to a pop star concert) is justified by this intimacy. Congratulations to the two organizers of Opera a Palazzo, with whom we had the pleasure of talking, for their communicative passion.
I loved this experience in such a beautiful setting; the proximity of the singers is great. The only downside is obviously the lack of orchestra: necessarily, a trio cannot replace the orchestra! I'll probably be back for the next show.
The beauty of the place, the exceptional performance of the singers and musicians and the immersion of the spectators at the heart of the plot make this experience unique and very privileged
The "opera" performance was perfect excellent singers. Congratulations, everyone. On the other hand I was disappointed by the "reception-comfort of spectators" service: This change of lounge (involving moving more than 50 chairs) is certainly not easy but was it useful? we had to stand (and lose our good seats) too long and for us it was a big inconvenience especially that we were not warned.
It is very different from the usual Opera with much more privacy, emotion. Have is literally in the scenery, action and especially music. Huge pleasure to be 1 meter from the very good singers who live their roles to the fullest and to vibrate with them. The feeling of being invited to the Baroness's sumptuous evening in are mansion is quite charming even if the absolutely crucial subject is the sharing of music and singing in a very small committee of enthusiasts. We also enjoyed the champagne flute at intermission.
Very nice evening! We had a wonderful time! The organization was perfect, and we enjoyed every moment with immense pleasure.
Elegant, pompous setting and format of representation. Not very authentic though. Singers and performers unfortunately not that good, actually very disappointing ..no ral acting and drama .. singers probably disappointing as they seemed not to understand the text.. . Quality of seats changing and a bit erratic. Considering the price.. a bit more champagne or drinks would also have been appreciated (all also put into perspective of similar formats such as Opera in Palazzo in Venice where the same represnetation is simply breathtaking)
