Abstract: Philippe Leroux and Célie Pauthe talk about their choice of The Announcement to create an opera: the power of the text, the fascination for the Claudelian verse, the violence of the characters' intimate contradictions, the deep spirituality, the inspiring places. The miracle constitutes the nodal point of the drama. The music is born of a synthesis between ancient musical traditions and modern vocal techniques. A space and a staging that are both introspective and choral respond to it.
