Saint François d’Assise – Trailer
Today, Olivier Messiaen’s only opera celebrates its Salzburg Festival premiere. In this extraordinary new production, director Romeo Castellucci and conductor Maxime Pascal invite audiences on a profound journey through faith, nature and spirituality. Rather than telling a conventional story, “Saint François d’Assise” unfolds in a series of powerful images, exploring the inner path of one of history’s most remarkable figures.
With Philippe Sly in the title role, alongside Lauranne Oliva, Sean Panikkar, Russell Braun and an outstanding international cast, together with the Vienna Philharmonic and the Concert Association of the Vienna State Opera Chorus, this landmark work of the 20th century comes to life in Salzburg.
