False accusation, unjust imprisonment, torture and a death
sentence: such was the unfortunate fate of Beatrice di Tenda, a real character
who became the heroine of Vincenzo Bellini’s opera.
The work was first performed at Venice’s La Fenice in 1833
without any real success, to the great displeasure of the composer who tackled
powerful themes such as justice and the aspiration for freedom, in a score with
crystaline and lyrical lines.
For its entry into the Paris Opera repertoire, Peter Sellars
is directing this little-known score, his first Italian opera. With set
designer George Tsypin, he sets the work in a steel-walled palace, evoking the
domination and surveillance exercised by a ruthless dictatorship.
