The Night of a Neurotic by Rota, 周日 20 11月 2011, 从 (2011/2011), 導演是 Marco Spada, 导体 Francesco Lanzillotta, Teatro Verdi, Sassari, Italy

Second work of the diptych dedicated to Nino Rota, The night of a neurasthenic - unlike the Two shy ones -it was specially composed for the performance. It was born in 1950 from the collaboration with the playwright Riccardo Bacchelli and won the Italian Prize in 1959. The plot takes place in a hotel where a sleepless neurasthenic has booked a room but also the two adjacent ones to avoid being woken up during the night. The hotel porter, however, gives the two rooms to other customers who obviously do not allow the unfortunate insomniac to sleep. Eventually the poor fellow will be able to chase away the annoying neighbors but will not have time to fall asleep because it will already be morning. The cast of the opera, premiered in Sassari, does not differ much from that of the previous play.
