Melodies of passion
Exoticism and tragedy. Passion and betrayal. Imperialism and cultural differences. The drama of the gentle geisha Cio-Cio- San, in love with American marine Second Lieutenant Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, chained to the poignant arias of Puccini, she continues to touch the hearts of audiences. How can one resist Viene la sera or Un bel di vedremo? Puccini sweeps us into his music. We succumb to the heights of melodrama.
In a coproduction of the Festival Castell de Peralada and the Deutsche Opera am Rheim, with two casts for five performances of an opera which, beyond its multiple readings, is a whirlwind of desire and frenzied love, of deception and lies, of the fragility and fantasy of love and how a woman’s obedience to a traditional code of honour leads to her tragic death.
