Big stage

Willis by Giacomo Puccini and Rural Honor by Pietro Mascagni are operas based on the beautiful theme of love. In each of these works, it is revealed in its own way. But it was the passionate feeling that became the link for the directors, who proposed an unusual directorial and artistic solution for the performances: the main characters, wanting to know love, get into the history of operas, living it the way the authors of the works intended. Comprehension of earthly love leaves an indelible mark on the souls of the heroines, opens their eyes to the beauty and value of this feeling, despite the suffering that it brings them.
