73rd SEASON OF THE EXPERIMENTAL OPERA THEATRE IN SPOLETO
Caio Melisso Theatre
EINE KLEINE MUSIK: ESPAÑA
Music Preview of the Opera Season
This year, after focusing on France in 2018, the festival will focus on Spain. A series of pieces on music by de Falla, Villa Lobos, Piazzolla and Albeniz, interspersed with the reading of poems by Antonio Machado will be the prologue to the staging of EL RETABLO DE MAESE PEDRO by Manuel de Falla, in the transcription for piano and voices by the author (ed.1934). Mariachiara Grilli will conduct and play the piano, the direction will be in charge of Alessio Pizzech, already known at the Sperimentale. The stage set will be curated by Andrea Stanisci, who will also sign the scenes for Re di Donne and later for Il Barbiere di Siviglia. El retablo de Maese Pedro is rarely staged in Italy and was for the author a way to refer to a national tradition, composed with a strict criterion. The libretto is taken from the original text of Cervantes, lightening the pieces in a suitable way. For the director Pizzech: “Don Quixote will be an artist who confronts with himself and his art. A “madness” conceived together with Stanisci between figurative art, music and theatre”.
