Verdi La Forza del Destino

This performance of 2014 can be considered as a reference on account of the quality of the vocal material involved and because the daring staging of Austrian Martin Kušej is rich in meaning within the context of the global challenges of today He proposes a reflection on war on vengeance and also on the mark of guilt which ends with the joie de vivre and the expansion of passions In the intimacy of Calatrava his is a postBauhaus picture of a Fascist neatness which then contrasts with the chaos of battles the abyss of misery and the sexual stampede after triumph or failure In this context religion instead of being a consolation is both an escape and the tomb of humanity the chapel wherein Leonora hides is made out of huge crosses and in one of them just for a moment Don Álvaro seems crucified by his fate
