The first opera composed by a woman,
La Liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina is also the first to evoke the character of the poisonous Alcina and her spells. The libretto by court poet Ferdinando Saracinelli features poems that were famous in their day by Ariosto (Orlando Furioso), Boiardo and Tasso, blending the chivalrous and the marvellous.

On an enchanted island, the knight Ruggiero finds himself torn between two women magicians. He is seduced by the beautiful and dangerous Alcina before being reminded of his duty by the good fairy Melissa – representing the Grand Duchess of Tuscany who commissioned the opera in 1625 to celebrate the visit of the Crown Prince of Poland to whom she wished to marry her daughter.

Composer Francesca Caccini (1587-approx.1641) was an exemplary figure in the musical blossoming of the first half of the Italian 17th century. Her graceful art flourished at the court of the Medicis in Florence, where she delighted her contemporaries and was admired for her many musical talents, particularly her singing concerts where she accompanied herself on the lute. Her refined writing enlivens this supernatural story with a blend of melodious arias, character-revealing recitatives and choruses of monsters and enchanted plants.

At the head of his ensemble, I Gemelli, which he founded with Mathilde Etienne, Emiliano Gonzalez Toro directs a cast and musicians well-versed in this repertoire, paying tribute to the beauty of this music, our Baroque offering for the season.

English

Premier opéra composé par une femme,
La Liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina est aussi le premier à évoquer le personnage de la vénéneuse Alcina et ses sortilèges. Le livret du poète de cour Ferdinando Saracinelli utilise les poèmes célèbres en leur temps de l’Arioste (Orlando Furioso), de Boiardo et du Tasse, mêlant le chevaleresque et le merveilleux.

Sur une île enchantée, le chevalier Ruggiero se trouve tiraillé entre deux puissantes femmes, deux magiciennes. La belle et dangereuse Alcina le séduit, puis la bonne fée Mélissa le rappelle à ses devoirs, elle qui incarne en réalité la sage grande Duchesse de Toscane, commanditaire en 1625 de l’opéra pour fêter la visite du prince héritier de Pologne, à qui elle désire marier sa fille.

La compositrice, Francesca Caccini (1587-env.1641), est une personnalité exemplaire de la floraison musicale de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle italien. Son art gracieux s’épanouit à la cour des Médicis à Florence, où elle ravit ses contemporains, admirée pour ses multiples talents de musicienne, notamment ses concerts de chant où elle s’accompagne au luth. Son écriture raffinée anime cette histoire à tonalité surnaturelle, entre airs mélodieux, récitatifs révélateurs des personnages et chœurs de monstres et de plantes enchantées.

À la tête de son ensemble I Gemelli, qu’il a fondé avec Mathilde Etienne, Emiliano Gonzalez Toro dirige une distribution et des musiciens rompus à ce répertoire, pour rendre hommage à la beauté de cette musique, notre proposition baroque de la saison,
