Monteverdi's madrigals as proto-opera exercises: Madrigali Monteverdi

In this evolution from the polyphonic style to a more modern and harmoniously compromised grammar, the fifth book represents a turning point in Monteverdi. Thus, in the sixth we find a great heterogeneity of forms: from having unequivocal features we move on to a great diversity of forms. The madrigals are the perfect medium for expressing human passions and the starting point from which the composer will investigate to lead to the creation of the opera. 

Written in five voices, it was published in 1614 and is divided into two parts: each begins with a lament (the Lament of Arianna and La Sestina). L'Orfeo's theatrical experience imposed a transition from genre to greater individuality in the treatment of voices. 

Alessandrini, who has won over the audience in his Monteverdian performances at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan or at the Paris Opera, lands at the Liceu to be the master of ceremonies for these enigmatic madrigal books.
