Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Michel Vuillermoz spent three hours in prosthetics daily; the nose was custom-sculpted to allow full vocal resonance for Rostand's dense verse.
Comédie-Française has performed Cyrano over 2,000 times since 1898; this 2017 staging deliberately echoed their 1950s productions with minimal set, maximal performance.
