Opera & Ballet

Fuego

The choreographer Antonio Gades and the director Carlos Saura are behind the creation of this full immersion in flamenco dance, inspired by De Falla's L'amour sorcier. A success lasting  thirty years, this production is capable of innovating a captivating Iberian cultural tradition. 

Violanta

A compelling single act set in Renaissance Venice written by a "musical genius" - Mahler's words  - who was only seventeen in 1916. Late-romantic atmospheres painted by an excellent orchestrator for a scabrous story of love and death. Never before performed in Italy!

Carmen

An opera about seduction with the roles inverted, almost a female Don Juan, Bizet's masterpiece transcends gender distinction in a perfect theatrical mechanism, with situations that embody profound and universal conflicts, such as the one  between freedom and destiny.  

Tosca

A tragedy of violent passions, a story of power and deceit, of female redemption – a woman who defeats a blackmailing policeman had never been seen in an opera before – of a woman  who is overwhelmed by a fatal destiny. Puccini achieves a leap forward and creates a poignant masterpiece.
