New Production of the Teatro Real, in co-production with Abu Dhabi Festival.
The season opens with the masterpiece of the genius Cherubini. Tragic and rapturous, Medea is best known for the historic interpretations of Maria Callas, to whom this production will be dedicated on the centenary of her birth. The eagerly awaited new stage direction by Paco Azorín, together with the voices of Maria Agresta, Saioa Hernández and Nancy Fabiola Herrera, will explore dramatic aspects of the libretto, such as vicarious violence and abandonment.
Critical edition by Heiko Cullmann based on the original French edition, with Alan Curtis responsible for the sung recitatives.
