We would like to thank the Croatian Restoration Institute, Mr. Toni Šaina from the Department of Mural Painting and Mosaics in Rijeka, for their insight into the numerous Istrian frescoes.

 

But Kristina Kolar as Santuzza captivated the stage with her stature and voice throughout the performance. Already in the first aria she achieved unsurpassed drama, and it was especially exciting to listen to her great duet with Turriddu. Her gentle chants, lightness of melodic expression, perfectly crafted dynamics and impeccably clean strong heights, along with the actor’s expressive face, created a magnificent experience of her character on stage, drawing out shouts of pleasure from the audience.

The dramatic electrified duet of Santuzza and Turridu "Tu, qui Santuzza?" We lived very intensely and will remain in our memory for a long time even after the curtain fell, („)

Robert Kolar's staunch baritone perfectly outlined Alfie's rage, and Kolar's stage play made his blood run cold. ()

Alan Vukelic's cross-shaped scenography perfectly outlined the atmosphere of Easter in a village in Sicily. Also, the scenography figured well in the situation in which the orchestra is in the depths of the stage. Sandra Dekanić's costume design hit as usual on Wednesday. Santuzza is dressed in black from head to toe, which is absolutely in line with her psychological condition. Other characters reflected the spirit of southern Italy. Dalibor Fugošić's light followed the music very well and used the entire capacity of the space. Video projections of Vedran Perišić Pera were based on Istrian frescoes, which is a great idea, commented on and praised by the audience during the play.
