La vida breve Falla

Del Monaco revolutionizes Falla

At first sight, it looks like a necklace of Spanish customs, stereotypes and clichés strung together with gypsies, blacksmiths, pocket knives, jealousy and death. However, with the story of this rural drama by Carlos Fernández Shaw which Manuel de Falla premiered in Nice in 1913, flows an opera that is not only dramatically intense, more so because of its striking brevity, but one that is also musically exhilarating. In this production, conceived for the Palau de les Arts of Valencia, stage director Giancarlo del Monaco, uses an abstract scenography -that critics have considered “ revolutionary”- to do away with geographical references and folkloric elements. The work is freed from the bonds of Spanish cultural nationalism strongly rooted in Andalusia to become universal: Del Monaco transforms the main character, Salud, into a complex personality similar to opera heroines of dramas of the times like the Jenůfa of Janáček, who will also see this season in Sevilla. In his search for the “dark, profound, and chaotic” soul of La vida breve, Del Monaco, puts the love drama of the story in tension with the social drama of its location, accentuating the influence of passion and fatality.

Lucas Macías, the excellent oboist and conductor from the Andalusian province of Huelva, makes his opera debut at the Maestranza to lead a cast headed by soprano Ainhoa Arteta and tenor Alejandro Roy.

One of the great Spanish operas -if not the best- comes to the Maestranza in a stage production which shows us a “new Falla”. Few dramaturges as the brilliant Giancarlo Del Monaco, with such close ties to Spain, could provide a new insight to La vida breve. The Maestranza applauds the occasion.

English

Del Monaco revoluciona a Falla

En apariencia, parece un collar engarzado con estereotipos y clichés del costumbrismo español: gitanas, herreros, navajas, celos y muerte. Sin embargo, bajo el argumento de Carlos Fernández Shaw para ese drama rural que Manuel de Falla estrenó en Niza en 1913, discurre una ópera no solo dramáticamente intensa, tanto más por su fulgurante brevedad, sino una obra musicalmente excitante. En esta puesta en escena concebida para el Palau de les Arts de Valencia, el director Giancarlo del Monaco, a través de una escenografía abstracta considerada por la crítica “revolucionaria” al prescindir de referencias geográficas y elementos folclóricos, la obra queda liberada de las ataduras del nacionalismo cultural español de fuerte anclaje andaluz para universalizarse y convertir a su protagonista, Salud, en un personaje de una complejidad similar a la de otras heroínas de dramas operísticos de su tiempo como la Jenůfa de Janáček, con la que en Sevilla comparte temporada. En su búsqueda del alma “oscura, profunda y caótica” de La vida breve, según Del Monaco, se pone en tensión el drama de amor del relato con el drama social en el que transcurre, acentuando la influencia de la pasión y la fatalidad.

El excelente oboísta y director de orquesta onubense Lucas Macías debuta como director de ópera en el Maestranza al frente de un reparto liderado por la soprano Ainhoa Arteta y el tenor Alejandro Roy.

Una de las grandes óperas españolas -si no la mejor- llega al Maestranza en una puesta en escena que nos revela a un “nuevo Falla”. Pocos dramaturgos como el brillante Giancarlo Del Monaco, tan cercano a España, podía darle una nueva vida a La vida breve. El Maestranza está de enhorabuena.
