Caruso « une voix pour l’éternité »

Roberto Alagna brings Enrico Caruso back to center stage with Caruso, A Voice for Eternity, a work he co-wrote with Jean-Félix Lalanne. On 22 November 2026, at the Pin Galant in Mérignac, the French tenor retraces the trajectory of this opera icon and his complex relationship with Giulio Gatti-Casazza, the visionary director of his time. Between admiration, friendship and rivalries, the narrative intertwines the artist’s rise with the darker shades of a legend.

The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, amid immigration, inequality and power plays. Couples forming and falling apart, fragile alliances, plots and betrayals compose a fresco in which faith, loyalty and the possibility of redemption remain an undercurrent.

Musically, Alagna crosses styles without boundaries. Opera meets popular song, blues converses with rock, while metal and electronic music appear alongside waltzes and tarantellas. Solos, duets, trios, choruses and symphonic accompaniment give breadth to this panoramic score, balancing intimacy with choral sweep.

Caruso, A Voice for Eternity sketches the portrait of a destiny and a voice that continue to resonate — an artistic journey recounted by a tenor who knows the stage from the inside and shares its strengths, fractures and impulses.
