Zerlina
El eterno seductor vuelve a deslumbrarnos en la imponente tragicomedia de Mozart. Don Giovanni es la ópera en dos actos creada por Wolfang Amadeus Mozart y el libretista Lorenzo da Ponte estrenada en 1787. En ella se reescribe la obra literaria de Don Juan Tenorio, el arquetipo de hombre seductor y libertino, convertida en esta ocasión en una ópera dramática de connotaciones cómicas. Esta producción de Kasper Holten de 2014 para The Royal Opera, presenta a Don Giovanni como un joven artista que prospera en su sociedad. La espectacularidad en la escena es el resultado de la suma de los diseños de Es Devlin junto con los videos de Luke Halls, que nos transportan al mundo de las emociones acompañando a la maravillosa partitura de Mozart.
Atalanta
Xerxes is one of Handel’s latest and most frequently performed operas, famous for its marvelous opening aria ‘Ombra mai fu’. At the centre of the confusing tragicomedy, very loosely based upon the life of Xerxes I of Persia, is a powerful and lovesick royal eccentric, King Xerxes. Rising opera star Gaëlle Arquez in the title role of Xerxes ‘scintillates with her nimble, luminous mezzo-soprano’, singing ‘irresistibly beautiful, impassioned, furious – but never mean’ (Frankfurter Rundschau). Frankfurt’s excellent Opera and Museum Orchester contributes ‘all sorts of refinements’ to this ‘musical smash hit’ (Deutschlandfunk) and ‘In Frankfurt Tilman Köhler ensures a three-hour short abundant and furious banquett … a great evening of opera’ (Deutschlandfunk).
A handsome prince falls in love with an abducted princess. Armed with musical instruments, he and his singing sidekick mount a rescue mission that tests their commitment to truth, love and humanity itself.
