Trilogia Mozart Da Ponte

Presentation

The “great Italian three” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte reimagined as a single coherent trilogy: that is the challenge La Monnaie has taken on this season with the Clarac-Delœuil > le lab creative arts team and conductors Antonello Manacorda and Ben Glassberg. In their version, Le nozze di Figaro, Così fan tutte, and Don Giovanni all unfold in the same apartment building and on the same day into a gripping family saga in three episodes, with numerous interlinked characters and events.

Each opera can stand alone and be enjoyed independently of the others. But immerse yourself in the turmoil of this ‘day of madness’ for three evenings and the various pieces of this Mozartian puzzle slot together to form an impressive comédie humaine about life in a European metropolis, in the year 2020.
