Welcome to a celebration of the life and art of Paul Gauguin. You are invited to discover the many facets of a complex and insightful man. Paul Gauguin is unveiled through what we learn about his life, his struggles and the soul of a brilliant man celebrated by a chamber opera which stages his progressive and innovative essence. “Bonjour M. Gauguin” is a unique combination of paintings and music which brings to life the beauty unexpectedly discovered in the painter’s insights, correspondence and artistic commentary. His very words gave birth to the opera and libretto itself: Paul Gauguin in his own words set to music by composer Fabrizio Carlone. By means of this opera, the extraordinary experience of full immersion into a comprehensive universe of art, music and poetry is extended to the listener. In participating in this great human and artistic adventure, one is lured into sharing individual feelings with those of Gauguin, opening one’s mind to a new musical landscape.
