JEAN-LOUIS TRINTIGNANT DÉCÉDÉ AUJOURD´HUI. AND, THE CASTS OF THE 99TH ARENA DI VERONA OPERA FESTIVAL

JEAN-LOUIS TRINTIGNANT EST DÉCÉDÉ 17/JUIN, 2022

DISPARITION - L'acteur de Et Dieu... créa la femme et Amour est décédé «paisiblement, de vieillesse, ce matin, chez lui, dans le Gard, entouré de ses proches», a indiqué son épouse Mariane Hoepfner Trintignant.

Figure incontournable du cinéma et du théâtre français, Jean-Louis Trintignant est décédé vendredi à l'âge de 91 ans, a annoncé à l'AFP son épouse Mariane Hoepfner Trintignant via un communiqué transmis par son agent. L'acteur de Et Dieu... créa la femme et Amour est «mort paisiblement, de vieillesse, ce matin, chez lui, dans le Gard, entouré de ses proches», a précisé son épouse. Sur scène ou face à la caméra, il ne recherchait jamais l'esbroufe. Et pourtant avec Lelouch, avec Haneke et tant d'autres, on ne voyait que lui. Jean-Louis Trintignant n'est plus.
Mais, travaillant dans de petits boulots pour se payer ses études à l'IDHEC (Institut des Hautes Études cinématographiques), sa persévérance finit par être récompensée: il intègre plusieurs troupes de théâtre, dont la célèbre Compagnie Grenier-Hussenot. S'il fait ses premiers pas au cinéma sous la direction de Christian-Jaque dans Si tous les gars du monde en 1956, c'est évidemment avec Et Dieu... créa la femme de Roger Vadim, la même année, qu'il est remarqué. Il partage alors l'affiche avec Brigitte Bardot, qui deviendra grâce au film une icône de la féminité des années 1950. Une amourette entre les deux comédiens se continuera durant les mois suivants le tournage. Après son service militaire dont il souffre beaucoup, Jean-Louis Trintignant est engagé par Maurice Jacquemont pour interpréter Hamlet.
Le décès de sa fille Marie, la catastrophe absolue de sa vie

En 2003, la perte de sa fille Marie, sous les coups du chanteur de Noir Désir Bertrand Cantat, le plonge dans une tristesse inconsolable dont il ne parviendra jamais vraiment à se sortir. En septembre 2017 encore, il évoquait au micro d'Europe 1 cette douleur irrépressible qui continuait de l'assaillir même au crépuscule de son existence: «Cela fait 14 ans et, depuis 14 ans, je n'arrête pas d'y penser, de penser à ma fille.»

En 2012, un film dans lequel il tient la tête d'affiche obtient une nouvelle fois la palme d'or à Cannes. Il s'agit d'Amour de l'autrichien Michael Haneke dans lequel il interprète avec Emmanuelle Riva un couple octogénaire aux sentiments indestructibles. Une conclusion en majesté pour le comédien qui, toute sa vie durant, aura dédié son existence à un cinéma de l'intime et du mystère.

From 17th June to 4th September 2022

The 99th Arena di Verona Opera Festival is presenting 46 unique nights in the world’s largest theatre under the banner of opera with its imposing shows and the best international voices.

On 17th June, edition number 99 of the world’s most popular Opera Festival gets under way, in an Arena finally featuring its unique productions, which every night attract over 13,000 spectators, increasingly full of the international scenario’s greatest artists on stage with the Orchestra, Chorus, Dance Company and Technicians, with a high social profile, with almost 300 million contacts in 2021 alone and even more solid, thanks to the support of its benefactors with 67 Columns for the Arena di Verona, a project that with its first edition won the Italian Ministry of Culture’s prize for the best Art Bonus initiative among hundreds of projects throughout the country.

The nights under the stars will be animated by an even more inclusive cosmopolitan Festival, the ideal preparation of the road leading to the goal of edition number 100, in the summer of 2023. 

Marco Armiliato is the Musical Director of the 2022 Festival

For the 99th edition of the Festival, one of Arena di Verona spectators’ most popular conductors will be on the podium of the Arena’s immense orchestra pit for 24 evenings. Born in Genoa, with an international vocation and career, he is a standard-bearer of Italian melodrama worldwide, from Vienna to Tokyo, from La Scala to the New York Metropolitan. 

The program

The 99th Arena di Verona Opera Festival opens on the weekend of the 17th and 18th June with the two most performed operas in the history of the Festival, Bizet’s Carmen and Verdi’s Aida, both with a Franco Zeffirelli production.


 Carmen, the opening opera, was the Maestro’s debut inside the amphitheatre’s age-old walls in 1995 and will be presented to spectators as it has never been seen before, in an original synthesis.

As is known, on the occasion of the various reproductions of his show staged through the years, the Florentine Maestro made various substantial changes, culminating in the new 2009 version. Now, thanks to new stagecraft skills acquired and based on the Maestro’s observations passed on by his long-standing collaborators, it is possible to obtain a definitive synthesis of Franco Zeffirelli’s thoughts on his personal concept of Carmen at the Arena.

Following the first drafts without censorship or limitations, integrated with the best new features which Zeffirelli himself introduced in the following editions and adding the best of the Maestro’s various intuitions will result in a unique definitive visual experience, under the musical direction of Marco Armiliato and embellished by an exceptional cast in which, among  the many debuts, is it is worth mentioning those as protagonists of Clémentine Margaine, J'Nai Bridges, Elina Garanča and Yulia Matochkina, joined by Don Josè by Brian Jagde, Roberto Alagna and Vittorio Grigolo.

The production of Aida, created specifically for the Arena precisely twenty years ago, returns to the Verona stage after many editions as a classic of Zeffirelli’s aesthetic to all effects, with his unmistakable golden light and the multicoloured precious fabrics that colour the Egypt imagined by Verdi with new gleams combining solemnity and exotism.

For the Arena’s top-ranking opera, being staged for eleven nights, Daniel Oren and Marco Armiliato will alternate on the podium. On the immense stage there will be an endless series of singers of absolutely top-grade international importance, including Liudmyla MonastyrskaAnna NetrebkoLatonia MooreEkaterina SemenchukMurat KarahanFabio SartoriYusif EyvazovAmartuvshin Enkhbat, Ferruccio Furlanetto, confirming the Fondazione’s desire to make every night an absolute first.

From 25th June, Verdi’s Nabucco will be staged for eight nights in the recent edition featuring a wide historic, Risorgimento and cinematographic fresco by Arnaud Bernard, conducted by Daniel Oren and Alvise Casellati

Then on 2nd JulyLa Traviatathe last creation by Franco Zeffirelli, returns, with costumes by Maurizio Millenotti, after the inauguration of the 2019 Festival with the participation of Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella broadcast live worldwide, thanks to the collaboration of Arena di Verona srl and Rai1, just a few days after the Maestro’s death, becoming a sort of artistic legacy. The Verdi masterpiece will be conducted for its eight performances by Marco Armiliato.

The fifth and last opera on the 2022 program is Puccini’s Turandot with the fable-like production by Zeffirelli and costumes by Academy Award winner Emi Wada: it will be on stage from 4th August for seven nights conducted by Marco ArmiliatoFrancesco Ivan Ciampa and, for a single event, by Plácido Domingo

The casts of singers include, among others, the voices and performing talent of Anna Netrebko, Lisette Oropesa and Angel Blue, as well as Luca Salsi, Ludovic TézierFrancesco Meli, Freddie de Tommaso, Michele Pertusi, in a well-balanced combination of solid certainties, names that are really outstanding at international level, but rarely seen on Italian stages and young talents sure to interest opera lovers all over Europe.
