RIGOLETTO - OPERA DIRECTO  Gran Teatro Liceo Barcel
Gilda

Bizet: Carmen
Micaëla
With a devilish sway of the hips and a hint of Andalusian flair, Carmen, the beautiful cigar-maker sets her sights on a soldier: Don José. Fate will do the rest. Composed to a libretto by Meilhac and Halévy based on Prosper Mérimée’s novella, the opera exploded the boundaries between tragedy and comedy with a modernity that caused a scandal at the time. Can we kill the one we love with love? The fiery beauty of Bizet’s music, where one unforgettable aria follows another, has worked year in, year out to make it the world’s most performed opera.

CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA / PAGLIACCI ROYAL OPERA HOUSE 2019/20
Nedda
El clásico melodrama de Mascagni y el famoso drama de Leoncavallo en la galardonada producción de Damiano Michieletto en una emocionante experiencia cinematográfica. Cavalleria Rusticana de Pietro Mascagni y Pagliacci de Ruggero Leoncavallo, escritas de manera independiente, son dos de las óperas italianas en dos actos más famosas hoy en día. Cavalleria Rusticana se estrenó con gran éxito en 1890, lo que influyó en Leoncavallo, cuyo estreno de Pagliacci dos años más tarde también sería un gran triunfo. Las dos obras maestras juntas nos muestran la tradición y el realismo característicos del verismo. Desprenden concisión, riqueza en la melodía y una clara obsesión.
