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 ironical setting - where the War of the Roses takes pIace at the London Fashion Week - is perfectIy matched by the elegant direction of Fabio Luisi with the Orchestra Internazionale dItalia. The opera, which belongs to the semi-serious genre, moves from the warIike tones of Act One to the idyIlic ones of Act Two, where both female protagonists appear: the queen, a soprano, and the wife, a contralto; both seek the love of an heroic tenor equaIly daring in battIe and in music. |
