Past Production Reviews
2The performance of the show is perhaps the most complete that we have seen in recent years at the Zarzuela. Beatriz San Juan's scenography , enhanced by the strident lighting of Valentín Álvarez , has a frankly impressive force. Sol Picó's choreographies disturb and move in equal measure. In another order of things would be the artistic team Each character in the plot unfolds into a singer and an actor / dancer / reciter. Sticking to the musical chapter we will not stop giving a closed ovation to the singers who brilliantly gave voice to the troubles of Liríope, Amor, Delfa and la Ninfa
The direction of Andrea Marcon, always lively, attentive, without unnecessary excesses and with great intention in the instrumental fragments. Marcon's operatic work does not seem to attract attention in recent years, but he is probably one of the Mediterranean conductors who best caters to 18th century musical writing in terms of vocal accompaniment, and he knows how that orchestral chrysalis has to be woven together to that allows the singer to project, fill and move without losing an iota of grace. The orchestra did what it could, rude in the attacks and without the timbral or the precise dynamic detail, but taking into account the position in which it was, it was not an obstacle to the enjoyment of the excellent music of Boccherini.
