Synopsis: Anna
Bolena (Maggio Musicale Fiorentino)
Envelope-pushing director Graham Vick
describes his production of Anna Bolena as “two women making use of the bed to
get to the throne and a man making use of the throne to get to the bed.” The
man, of course, is Henry the 8th, and the women are his doomed wives, Jane
Seymour and Anne Boleyn. Don’t miss this tale of treachery and scandal, brought
to life in Donizetti’s sparkling score. From the Teatro del Maggio Musicale
Fiorentino, Italy.
Note:
This production is performed with piano, not
orchestra, due to an orchestral strike.

OVERVIEW
Norma is considered Vincenzo Bellinis magnum
opus, and the apex of the bel canto operatic style. The titular high priestess
is filled with treasonous desire for a Roman soldier, forcing her to choose
between duty and love. Flowing, lyrical
melodies including the infamously difficult soprano aria Casta Diva only add to
the passion and heartbreak. Starring Chiara Taigi, Gregory Kunde, Irina Lungu
and Giacomo Prestia. From stunning outdoor arena stage at the Teatro Antico
Taormina, Italy.
180 minutes
