Show in French, subtitled in Portuguese
Premiered in 1911, the comic opera L’heure espagnole is, along with L’enfant et les sortilèges, a very rare example of Maurice Ravel’s incursions into the operatic universe. After two failed attempts, the French composer finds in a libretto by Franc-Nohain from 1904 the ideal ingredients for his first opera: Spain, somewhere in the 18th century, loves and dislikes, truths and lies, jealousy and intrigue, fidelity and betrayal.
Coincidence or perhaps not, it was precisely these elements, common to Pedro Antonio de Alarcón’s 1874 novel, that composer Manuel de Falla worked for several years until the premiere of the famous ballet El sombrero de tres picos in 1919, with the Ballets Russes by Sergei Diaghilev.
Contrasts and analogies in a unique, youthful and colorful night, in which opera and ballet appear hand in hand and performed by a cast made up of some of todays best Portuguese artists. – Bruno Borralhinho
