Performer: Orchestra del Teatro di San Carlo

Faithful to the libretto’s dramaturgy, the staging unfolds in scenographic environments of strong impact -

What makes Stéphane Braunschweig's production exceptional is its ability to reveal the opera's beating heart without resorting to didacticism. 

Huge de Ana's staging is carefully crafted but feels dramaturgically outdated as the Teatro di San Carlo heads into the twilight of sovrintendente Stéphane Lissner’s final season.
