OPERATIC HEROINES

Love, sacrifice and tragedy at the heart of a modern sensibility

On December 17, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., the Pierre Bergé Auditorium at the Musée Yves
Saint Laurent Marrakech will present “Operatic Heroines,” an exceptional recital
dedicated to the great heroines of opera, from Handel to Puccini.
Through some of the most iconic arias from the repertoire—from operas as diverse as
Rinaldo, Carmen, La Bohème and Madama Butterfly—and themes of love, anticipation,
faith and struggle, we’ll discover the depth and inner strength of these eternal
characters.

The internationally renowned soprano and star of the Teatro Colón de Buenos Aires,Daniela Tabernig,
will be accompanied on the piano by José Luis de Miguel,
  under the direction of, and with comments by, Rafael Lamas.

This musical and poetic journey—at once spiritual, passionate and tragic—will take place in the dynamic setting of the Pierre Bergé Auditorium.

Conference with Dr. Salima Naji

Amazighes: Cycles, Ornaments, Patterns

The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech has organized an exceptional
evening with Dr. Salima Naji, publication editor and curator of the exhibition
Amazighes: Cycles, Ornaments, Patterns, currently on view at the Museum
of European and Mediterranean Civilizations (MUCEM) in Marseille in
partnership with the Fondation Jardin Majorelle.

At the conference, we’ll discover tattoos, jewelry, ceramics and textiles that
refer to the same grammar of forms and signs. Supported by contemporary
research and perspectives, the book and exhibition explore the notion of a
“Berber permanence,” the dynamics of transmission in the Amazigh
diaspora and the cultural appropriations to which this heritage is sometimes
subject today.

The conference will be followed by a book signing: take home a copy of the
book Amaziges. Cycles, motifs, parures, signed by the author.

Join us for a fascinating evening rich in discoveries that will provide us with
a new understanding of the exceptional heritage of Amazigh art.
