Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia & George Benjamin
About the Event
Globally celebrated as a significant 21st‐century masterpiece, 'Written on Skin' by George Benjamin draws its inspiration from the tumultuous tale of Guillaume de Cabestanh, a 13th‐century troubadour from Provence, also mentioned in Boccaccio's Decameron. This opera explores themes of love and jealousy, reminiscent of the fervent depth found in classic romantic operas, but from a modern viewpoint.
