With intelligence director Cecilia Ligorio has worked “into” the opera focusing the dramatic core of every scene with bysides or counterscenes, once in a while enriching the spirit of the drama instead of being annoying. There were many subtle indications in this performance, like the first duet between the two lovers disquietingly ending on a grave situated on one side of the stage.

baroque repertoire.

Iris
2/02/18 •
Nothing is farther than Verism, the libretto even with all its flaws is approaching a Twentieth-century theater. There aren’t characters in their psychological evolution but almost Pirandellian hard “masks” and an absolutely mysterious antirealistic and empty of any action third Act, in which appear the personifications of the three “Egoisms” that conditioned the life of the dying Iris, the young’s who got infatuated with her, the pimp’s and the greedy father’s one. As it is very curious to open and close the opera with the Inno del sole (Sun hymn), and Iris also addresses the Sun during the opera, in an almost philosophical more oriental than western nature pantheism.
