Orlando Händel

Inspirándose en el protagonista de la película Taxi Driver protagonizado por Robert De Niro, el director de escena Claus Guth se lleva esta ópera barroca tan representativa de Händel a un contexto contemporáneo: las consecuencias de la vuelta a la realidad de un soldado retornado tras la guerra de Vietnam. Un reflejo contemporáneo del perfil guerrero y heroico de Orlando con la partitura maestra del compositor alemán y las voces de Anna Prohaska, Christophe Damaux y Anthony Roth Costanzo.  

El poema épico Orlando furioso de Ludovico Ariosto constituye el sustrato literario que nutre nada menos que tres títulos —los otros dos son Ariodante y Alcina—, de Georg Friedrich Händel. La obra fue escrita para Senesino, celebérrimo castrato cuyas sobrenaturales habilidades pueden inferirse a partir de la variada gama de registros que la partitura demanda a su protagonista, en especial en la particular y exigentísima «escena de la locura» que cierra su segundo acto.

Con una trama que gira de forma casi exclusiva en torno a los celos —y la enajenación— de su protagonista a causa del afecto que su amada Angelica profesa al príncipe Medoro, la obra supone hoy en día un desafío mayúsculo para la dirección de escena. La celebrada propuesta de Claus Guth —consistente en convertir a Orlando en un veterano de guerra con estrés postraumático incapaz de hacer frente a la realidad— sortea con brillantez esta brecha, arrojando luz y proporcionando a la vez innumerables sorpresas a lo largo de un recorrido dramático que acaba convirtiendo en una vivificante terapia.

Música de Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759)

Libreto anónimo adaptado de L’Orlando de Carlo Sigismondo Capece, basado a su vez en la obra de Ludovico Ariosto, Orlando furioso

Estrenada en el King's Theatre de Londres el 27 de enero de 1733

Estreno en el Teatro Real

Nueva producción del Teatro Real, procedente del Theater an der Wien

español

Inspired by the protagonist of the film Taxi Driver starring Robert De Niro, stage director Claus Guth takes this representative baroque opera by Händel into a contemporary context: the consequences of a returned soldier's return to reality after the Vietnam War. A contemporary reflection of Orlando's warrior and heroic profile with the German composer's masterly score and the voices of Anna Prohaska, Christophe Damaux and Anthony Roth Costanzo.

The epic poem Orlando furioso by Ludovico Ariosto constitutes the literary basis for no less than three works — the other two are Ariodante and Alcina—, by Georg Friedrich Händel. The piece was written for Senesino, the great castrato whose supernatural abilities can be imagined due to the variety of registers which the score demands of its protagonist, especially in the extraordinary and extremely difficult «Mad scene» at the end of the second act.

With a story which revolves almost exclusively around the jealousy and alienation of its protagonist - his beloved Angelica shows affection towards Prince Medoro - the opera is considered today to be a major challenge for the stage.  The acclaimed production by Claus Guth - which casts Orlando as a war veteran with PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder), incapable of dealing with reality – solves this question brilliantly, bringing light and innumerable surprises along the dramatic path which eventually becomes an exhilarating therapy.


A new production of the Teatro Real, coming from the Theater an der Wien.
