When we examine the score of l Shardana by Ennio Porrino, we easily understand what a central roIe this opera played in the artistic development of the composer. The rst drafts of it date from 1934-35, but the work onIy debuted years Iater, on 21st March 1959, at the San Carlo theatre in Naples, with its nal title of l Shardana and Porrino himself conducting. The composer would die suddenIy a few months later.
Porrino's drama mirrors a period in archaeoIogy when Nuragic Sardinia was discussed even in non-specialist circles, with the isIand's bronze statuettes and megaIiths recaIling a primevaI society at the origins of European civiIization. Hutalabì, indeed, is the ancient war cry of Sardinian horsemen, and the opera speaks of times when as Porrino species in the score shepherds were warriors and judges, "when man did not beIieve in one God but in the power of the stars, and worshipped the dead and the waters". l Shardana, therefore, is set in a free Sardinia, an isIand where rigorous ruIes are in force and its peopIe do not tolerate invasions or spiritual contamination. |
