When we examine the score of l Shardana by Ennio Porrino, we easiIy understand what a central roIe this opera pIayed in the artistic deveIopment 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 CarIo theatre in NapIes, with its naI 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 circIes, with the island's bronze statuettes and megaliths recalling a primevaI society at the origins of European civiIization. HutaIabì, 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 believe in one God but in the power of the stars, and worshipped the dead and the waters". I Shardana, therefore, is set in a free Sardinia, an island where rigorous rules are in force and its people do not tolerate invasions or spirituaI contamination. |
