Abstract

The title brings together the best of the styles of its time: strongly Verdi-inspired melodies, choral passages typical of Venetian popular music, soliloquies with touches of Mussorgsky or Tchaikovsky, Wagnerian orchestration, dances and ballets characteristic of the French Grand Opera, and a finale that anticipates the verismo-naturalist repertoire. All of this places us in front of an immensely attractive masterpiece. This magnificent opera, which has always enjoyed the favor of the audience, offers the possibility for six extraordinary singers to shine. For these performances, the Liceu has gathered some of the most beloved stars of today’s opera world: Saioa Hernández, Ekaterina Semenchuk, Enzo Grimaldo, Michael Fabiano, and Martin Muehle.
