Lohengrin

The will to resist the Roman occupiers is growing among the Galls, and Norma should finally give the sign for an uprising against the oppressor in the name of the god of war. But she hesitates due to a conflict of conscience: despite her vow of chastity, Norma has two children, hidden from the public, fathered by the Roman Pollione. When she finds out that Pollione loves the novice Adalgisa and wants to run away with her, her situation seems hopeless. If she reveals her double life, she risks not only her own standing, but that of her children as well.

A fantastic opera in a prologue, three acts and an epilogue, Jacques Offenbach's Les contes d'Hoffmann was performed on 10 February 1881 at the Opéra- Comique in Paris. The author had been dead for a few months and had not been able to complete the score on which he had worked on and off over the years. After a long tug-of-war between Opéra-Comique director Léon Carvalho and librettist Jules Barbier, the task of completing the work was entrusted to Ernest Guiraud, a friend of the late composer. Offenbach had composed a copious amount of music for the Contes without, however, managing to find a definitive version. The variability of content is reflected in the layout of the work, which is full of time jumps, interruptions and digressions in pure Hoffmann style. E.T.A. Hoffmann, an apex figure of German Romanticism, is the protagonist of the story set in various European cities in the early 19th century. While the Prologue and Epilogue take place in Nuremberg in Master Luther's tavern, where Hoffmann begins to recount his love affairs, the intermediate acts take place in Paris, Munich and Venice respectively, and feature female figures at the centre: Olympia, Antonia and Juliet, the women loved by the writer. A complex and layered work, steeped in bizarre situations, diabolical spells and visions, Les contes d'Hoffmann restores to the listener a variety of musical atmospheres full of enchantment.

Les contes d'Hoffmann

Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Theatre

An anthem to life that unites the earthly and the sacred. Music Director Andrea Battistoni has selected two rare and precious works of dazzling energy: Sinigaglia’s Piemonte and Mascagni’s Messa di Gloria. The suite by the Turin-born maestro gives voice to the simple joys of rural life, from springtime games to Carnival pranks, reimagining Piedmontese folk songs with the sumptuous colors of the symphonic orchestra. The Messa will be a delightful discovery for fans of Cavalleria rusticana, who will find the same sense of spontaneous religiosity in a more extended and elaborate form, with an explosion of lyricism brought to life by the superb voices of Dmitry Korchak and Franco Vassallo.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky never had any illusions about the subject he wished to set to music for his fifth opera, Evgeny Onegin by Alexander Pushkin. On several occasions, he shows himself aware of the presence of “very few stage effects, very little action” in a libretto made up of many “lyric scenes” (as he would later subtitle the opera) depicting life in 19th-century Russia, from jam-making in the countryside to a searing farewell dialogue in a palace in Saint Petersburg. What interests him is the powerful “inner drama” so well expressed in Pushkin’s verses—verses that he largely preserves. He is interested in the characters and their human condition: Onegin’s restlessness, Lensky’s “poet’s soul,” and above all the feelings that stir a woman: “I am in love,” he confesses, “with the character of Tatiana.” Anyone familiar with Tchaikovsky’s life can imagine why he felt so close to this melancholic girl, noble in spirit and destined to see all the love overflowing from her remain unfulfilled. It is no coincidence that the “Letter Scene,” in which she is the protagonist, is considered one of the composer’s peaks, capable here of expressing through music a whirlwind of otherwise inexpressible emotions. Yet every detail of this opera is of such beauty that, contrary to expectations, it has become Tchaikovsky’s most frequently performed work since its premiere in 1879.
