Una Cosa Rara (v2)

This was Francisco’s second production of this opera.While the first was in the totally authentic theatre at Drottningholm and hence rather “in style”, this one was conceived with the same team as the Barcelona production of Soler’s L’Arbore di Diana, as part of a mini cycle using imagery from Manga and Pop Art, with this time a sort of a Truman Show twist to the story that fitted it perfectly.  The production once again showed that the piece is a little jewel and delights audiences now as it did when it opened and beat Mozart’s Nozze di Figaro at the “box office” in 18th century Vienna.
