Une île déserte, quatre voix, des sentiments exacerbés... 🏝️💖 Célébration sobre et concentrée de l’amour, L'Isola disabitata est à découvrir les 27 et 28 n...

A musical and dramatic gem, a sober and concentrated celebration of love. A quartet of voices of a rich simplicity, to celebrate the joys of reunions and those of the first times. The omnipresent orchestra bathes the shore of this desert island in a light that heralds romanticism. 

The libretto of Metastasis, without emphasizing or lingering, weaves together several poetic motifs from the Age of Enlightenment. The lost island in the South Seas where a shipwrecked girl has been languishing for thirteen years alongside her younger sister is reminiscent of those peopled by Marivaux's fantasy. Nothing like an island, indeed, to conduct social or sentimental experiences, away from the influences of the rest of the world. Costanza, the aptly named, despairs of ever seeing her husband again: she is convinced that he has abandoned her, and has drawn the conclusion that all men are monsters. Already, she is carving her will on a rock… Silvia was too young to keep the memory of her previous life: life in the middle of nature is enough for her joy. When Gernando finally arrives, accompanied by his friend Enrico, he does not know if Costanza has survived.
