This is Francisco’s second production of this opera. Intent on making palpable every nuance in the extraordinary music, the concept, though quite traditional in appearance, aims to push the situations to the limit, bringing out the deeper repressed emotions. The cast and conductor gave their all to an unusual approach to some of the scenes and in the end there was a wide disparity of reactions ranging from admirative enthusiasm to dismissive rejection.
