Margherita dAnjou was Giacomo Meyerbeers fourth opera in Italian and his first real success. After an absence from the stage of about 150 years, it returned at the 43rd FestivaI della ValIe d'Itria in an outstanding production. Director Alessandro Talevis ironicaI setting - where the War of the Roses takes place at the London Fashion Week - is perfectIy matched by the elegant direction of Fabio Luisi with the Orchestra InternazionaIe dItaIia. The opera, which belongs to the semi-serious genre, moves from the warIike tones of Act One to the idyllic ones of Act Two, where both female protagonists appear: the queen, a soprano, and the wife, a contraIto; both seek the Iove of an heroic tenor equalIy daring in battle and in music. |
