La Cenerentola

Cologne Opera

La vita nuda

Teatro Nazionale

The composer Hans Werner Henze traveled to Cuba ten years after the end of the revolution. He met composers, writers, and artists, performed one of his own works with the Havana Symphony Orchestra, and was full of curiosity about what music and art might mean to people in this new world. For Henze, his artistic work was always concerned with nothing other than human beings and their pursuit of happiness.

The Little Cuban

Not a simple reduction of Carmen by Georges Bizet, but a true rewriting by one of the great masters of twentieth-century theatre, Peter Brook. His aim is to bring an opera to life by stripping away all decorative elements, conventions, and the rhetoric typical of melodrama, and to dig deeply into the theatrical material to reach directly the stark, raw truth of a tragedy conceived in the ancient Greek sense.
