La Sonnambula: Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona

Over het evenement

Vincenzo Bellini's opera La Sonnambula will be peformed this season at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona's famous Opera House.

If there is one title that occupies a unique place in Barcelona's nearly two centuries of operatic history, it is unquestionably Bellini's La sonnambula. An opera season without this masterpiece of bel canto was virtually unthinkable. Its unwittingly Freudian fascination with the loss of consciousness and its implicit fondness for the dreamlike create a truly Romantic ecstasy comparable to the ballets blancs then fashionable in imperial courts: Amina's emotional fragility is on a par with Giselle's. Marco Arturo Marelli's production is perfectly in tune with the notion of semi‐serious opera, striking a delicate balance between humour and Romantic pathos.
