Favola per musica, world premiere on 19 May 2012.

Presentation of the work by Agnès Terrier 40 minutes prior to each performance.

In the literary output of composer and librettist Arrigo Boito, Verdi's associate, there is a harsh and mysterious epic poem, Re Orso, published in 1865. The text in lyrical verse of utmost musical refinement recounts the legend of an appalling king, Bear, who reigned over Crete before the year 1000 in the darkest time of our era. Mingling the legendary character of the ancient king of animals with the myth of the Minotaur, Boito elaborates a new ill-fated figure steeped in crime and excess, awaiting punishment. Composer, scholar and teacher, Marco Stroppa picks up this text and writes his first piece of musical theater as a dance of death, with the collaboration of Richard Brunel and the Ensemble InterContemporain.
