Claudius has become king of Denmark after murdering his brother and marrying his widow. Hamlet, son of the deceased, loves the beautiful Ophelia, daughter of the chamberlain. He is visited by his father’s ghost who orders him to avenge him. Simulating madness, he dismisses Ophelia who loses her mind and drowns. Hamlet kills Claudius and ascends the throne, inconsolable at having lost the one he loves.
From February 26 until March 7, Nicolas Testé will return to the role of Claudius in Ambroise Thomas’ Hamlet at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège. Guillaume Tourniaire conducts Cyril Teste’s production, also featuring Lionel Lhote, Jodie Devos, Béatrice Uria-Monzon, and Pierre Derhet.
