ADRIANA LECOUVREUR ROLE PORTRAITS AND REHEARSAL INSIGHTS with Vincenzo Costanzo Piano: Fiona Macleod Video: Andreas Etter

ADRIANA LECOUVREUR
by Francesco Cilea (1902/1930)

"Falaschi tells the complicated story with all the optical opulence of sophisticated, sometimes excellent singer actors." (FAZ)

"In the end, a lot of applause for this moving insight into the world of theater and the people on stage, whose lives it represents." (www.kulturfreak.de)

"There is plenty of food for the eye shaped by Art Nouveau, with some excellent singers, but also intensive music theater that gets close to the audience." (Rhein-Zeitung)

Adriana Lecouvreur lives for her art. With naturalness and intense play, the actress captivates her audience night after night. In addition to acting, her love is Maurizio. For Adriana, he ended his secret relationship with an influential princess. Mad with jealousy, however, she is plotting deadly revenge...

With his opera Adriana Lecouvreur , Francesco Cilèa takes a look behind the scenes and into the emotional world of a great diva . Alongside Puccini, Cilèa was considered a possible successor in the Verdi tradition. At the same time, his melodic and colorful score sometimes seems to anticipate the early film music.

Gianluca Falaschi returns to Mainz for the scenic implementation. The internationally sought-after stage and costume designer recently designed the costumes for Armide and Perelà and was twice named costume designer of the year. At Adriana Lecouvreur , he not only designs the stage and costumes, but also directs.

In the style of the golden era of Hollywood, he locates the events in the art and dream world of theater and film, in a world in which reality and illusion, people and roles permeate and blur beyond recognition: what is reality, what is art ? With Adriana Lecouvreur , Gianluca Falaschi not only tells a tragic drama of jealousy, but also about the splendor and transience of the art of acting.
