Fidelio - Royal Opera House 2019/20 (Ópera en directo en cines)
Set Designer
Jonas Kaufmann y Lise Davidsen protagonizan la gran y única ópera de Beethoven. En el 250 aniversario del nacimiento de Ludwig van Beethoven, Antonio Pappano dirige la gran obra maestra del compositor, una estremecedora historia de peligro y triunfos. En esta nueva producción Jonas Kaufmann interpreta el papel del prisionero político Florestan, mientras que Lise Davidsen encarna a su mujer Leonora (disfrazada de Fidelio) que intrépidamente trata de rescatarlo. Como contrapunto encontramos una historia de intriga marcada por el amor y la crueldad de un régimen opresivo. La música es determinante en la obra e incluye el famoso cuarteto en el primer acto y el coro de prisioneros en el segundo acto, que transmiten un sentimiento de oscuridad, de falta de esperanza. La nueva puesta en escena de Tobías Kratzer nos introduce en la cruda realidad de la Revolución Francesa y a través de Fidelio, en base a la máxima de la Ilustración, nos traslada su mensaje universal.
