TURANDOT: "In this palace" | Tamara Wilson

With his last opera - left incomplete with his death in 1924 and finished by Franco Alfano– Giacomo Puccini took an ambitious step in the adaptation of his style to the new currents in music which evolved after the Great War.  As a point of departure, the composer took a piece of the 17th century Commedia dell’Arte Del, to advance in a direction that pointed unequivocally – but without forsaking it own identity– to the author of The Rites of Spring. As a result, in Turandot  there coexist the melodic intensity of its arias –«Nessun dorma»–,  the echo of Chinese popular  songs —«Mòlìhuā» or «Jasmine Theme »—,  characters from  the puppet theatre –Ping, Pang and Pong–  along with instrumentation and colourful tribal rhythms that definitely beat  from Stravinsky.

Yet, Turandot is also –as is The Rites of Spring– a grandiose ritual of fertility in which, by way of the ceremony of the three enigmas – plus a fourth–, the sexual act is no longer a brutal demonstration of male dominance, but one that transforms into an amorous encounter of mutual consent. It is along this line – ritualistic and symbolic – that the stylized stage production by Robert Wilson returns to the Teatro Real – as the culmination of the season –   which we had the opportunity to see four seasons ago.

English

Con su última ópera –incompleta a su muerte en 1924 y terminada por Franco Alfano– Giacomo Puccini dio un ambicioso paso en la adaptación de su estilo a las nuevas corrientes musicales desarrolladas tras la Gran Guerra. Tomando como punto de partida una pieza de la Commedia dell’Arte del siglo XVIII, Puccini avanzó en una dirección que apunta inequívocamente –pero sin perder la propia identidad– al autor de La consagración de la primavera. Así, en Turandot conviven la intensidad melódica de las arias –«Nessun dorma»–, el eco de canciones folclóricas chinas —«Mòlìhuā» o «La flor del jazmín»—, personajes salidos del teatro del guiñol –Ping, Pang y Pong– e instrumentaciones y ritmos de color tribal netamente stravinskianos.

Pero es que Turandot es también –como La consagración de la primavera– un grandioso ritual de fertilidad en el que, a través de la ceremonia de los tres enigmas –más un cuarto–, el acto sexual deja de ser una brutal demostración de dominación masculina para transfigurarse en un encuentro amoroso mutua-mente consentido. En esta línea –ritualística y simbólica– se mueve la estilizada puesta en escena de Robert Wilson que repite en el Real –como colofón de la temporada– que tuvimos ocasión de ver cuatro temporadas atrás.
