Twenty-Four Hours…
The first-ever musical adaptation of Stefan Zweig’s novella.
“Never before had I seen a face in which the passion for gambling flared up so savagely, so shamelessly exposed. I was mesmerized by that face—until suddenly it went blank and lifeless, as the ball landed on a number,” recounts Mrs. C.
“This man had just lost everything. He rushed out of the casino. Instinctively, I followed him. And so began twenty-four hours that would change my life forever.”
Nearly a century after its publication, Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman continues to captivate readers around the world. Zweig’s novella offers rich and exceptional material for Sergei Dreznin’s original score and the libretto by Christine Khandjian and Stéphane Ly-Cuong—a vivid emotional and musical palette worthy of its heroine.
To bring this unique work to life, a never-before-seen quintet takes the stage: singers Isabelle Georges and Frederik Steenbrink alongside the Trio Zadig, winner of eleven international awards. Cyrille Lehn’s arrangements provide both singers and instrumentalists with a musical setting that reflects the raw, unforgettable passion of this story—an emotional intensity that hides behind masks, an eternal tale of love and loss that transcends social conventions.
