Ero the Joker Gotovac

Suradnja vrhunskih umjetnika, književnika i glazbenika, rezultirala je jednom od najljepših opera slavenske glazbene literature. Puna prekrasnih narodnih napjeva i iskričave satire, u ovoj operi svoj svježi scenski život žive ljudi s istinskim vrlinama i manama. Podvig preodijevanja bogatog seljaka Miće koji tobože dolazi s onoga svijeta u namjeri da ispita ćud i odanost djevojke koju voli, razvija se u bogatom nizu komičnih situacija i zapleta. Najizvođenija je i u svijetu najpoznatija hrvatska opera. 

 

Završni ples je vrličko kolo koje nikoga ne može ostaviti ravnodušnim. Ples i bogatstvo vrličke nošnje stapaju se u sklad boja, pokreta i pjesme svjedočeći o neuništivosti tradicije hrvatskog čovjeka. Od praizvedbe u Zagrebu 2. listopada 1935. kada ju je Jakov Gotovac uglazbio pa sve do danas opera je izvedena više stotina puta, prevedena je na devet jezika i izvedena na više od 80 europskih pozornica.

hrvatski

Jakov Gotovac's opera Ero the Joker has long been hailed as one of the finest Slavic comic operas, solidifying its place as the composer's most acclaimed work. Since its debut in 1935, it has become a staple in the repertoire of all Croatian national theatres. Productions staged on international platforms have consistently praised Ero as a representative symbol of Croatian opera, showcasing its homeland's vibrant songs and dances through the seamless fusion of lyrics and music.

The opera's excellent libretto, penned by Milan Begović, brims with humorous verses and complements the musical elements flawlessly. With its chromatic musical scale, opulent orchestration, spirited rhythms, and melodic vocal lines, Ero captivates listeners, transporting them to the world of the Dalmatian hinterland. At the heart of the narrative lies the protagonist, Mića, a young man from a prosperous rural family. Following his mother's advice, he masquerades as destitute in his quest for a suitable bride. Assuming the identity of Ero, a visitor from another realm, Mića seeks to test the sincerity of his chosen love interest, Đula. Despite deceiving many along the way, Mića ultimately finds forgiveness and wins the heart of his beloved.

The opera's dynamic finale serves as an ode to the rural way of life, where the music, infused with the essence of Dalmatia, takes center stage and resonates with grandeur.
