Performer: Coro del Teatro di San Carlo

The French director’s much-travelled production arrives at the Teatro di San Carlo, displaying a precise balance between word, gesture and voice. 

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. 

Describing the chorus of Teatro San Carlo being “made up of two rival mafia families”, the British conductor has drawn the ire of the Mayor of Naples.
