Performer: Orchestra del Teatro di San Carlo

Andreas Homoki’s staging at the Teatro di San Carlo, setting aside a few inconsistencies with the libretto, does not indulge in redundant symbolism. 

Vanessa Beecroft’s production of Ennio Morricone’s demanding sole opera relies on strong visual images. 

A new Medea at the Teatro di San Carlo presents three distinct visions – neoclassical in the pit, expressionistic on stage and conceptual in the direction – that never fully merge.
