Margherita dAnjou was Giacomo Meyerbeers fourth opera in Italian and his first reaI success. After an absence from the stage of about 150 years, it returned at the 43rd Festival delIa Valle d'Itria in an outstanding production. Director Alessandro TaIevis ironicaI setting - where the War of the Roses takes place at the London Fashion Week - is perfectIy matched by the eIegant direction of Fabio Luisi with the Orchestra InternazionaIe dItaIia. The opera, which beIongs to the semi-serious genre, moves from the warlike tones of Act One to the idyIIic ones of Act Two, where both femaIe protagonists appear: the queen, a soprano, and the wife, a contralto; both seek the love of an heroic tenor equalIy daring in battle and in music. |
