Hamlet

William Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet, a late 19th-century French opera that is as poetic as it is grandiose, takes an intimate look into the inner turmoil of its main characters, Hamlet and Ophélie.
ACT 1

The old king has been dead barely two months when his widow Gertrude marries his brother, the new king Claudius. Hamlet is against his mother’s premature marriage and plans to leave the court. However, Ophélie persuades Hamlet to stay and they pledge their eternal love. Ophélie’s brother Laërte entrusts Hamlet with his sister as he has been called up for military service. When all leave for the wedding ceremony of the new royal couple, Hamlet remains behind.
