Esti lumina mea, new video

This is a New Year's gift for everyone. Alex Penescu composed this beautiful song, Teodor Ilincai wrote the lyrics but it was Angela Gheorghiu's graceful presence who gave it indisputable value.

Cavalleria rusticana in Barcelona

Amounting virtually to twin artistic manifestos, they become, in Michieletto's version, the two sides of the same coin, with characters from Cavalleria rusticana appearing in Pagliacci and vice-versa. The topics of the two operas, both set in 1950s Italy, also intertwine in the visual resources used. A veritable "slice of life", to quote from the sung prologue to Pagliacci.

Teodor Iincai si Turridu in Cavalleria rusticana, alongside Oksana Dyka (Santuzza), Ángel Ódena (Alfio) and Elena Zilio (Mamma Lucia) at Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, on December 7,10,12,15,19 and 21.

Cavalleria rusticana in Dresden, Nov 2021

The beginning of the new seasons brings new challenges. Teodor Ilincai returns to Semperoper Dresden to perform in Cavalleria rusticana this November (17, 20, 26, 29). Sonia Ganassi is Santuzza, Ivan Repušić conducs the orchestra of the opera house.

Jealousy, murder, and human wickedness, depicted in an impoverished rural milieu, these are the themes of the verismo composers. The two leading representatives of this movement, Mascagni and Leoncavallo, bring the human passions of southern Italy to the operatic stage in unique fashion. In this production, theatre and film director Philipp Stölzl stages these two murderous operas as a multi-level exploration of the human soul.
