Background: In his 2007 production for the Maggio Musicale in Florence, French opera director Nicolas Joël - named as the next director of the Opéra de Paris from 2009 - presented his reading of Giuseppe Verdi’s La forza del destino (The Force of Destiny). Nicolas Joël’s production gives the work an unobtrusive update of about a hundred years from its composition, the period leading up to Italian Unifi cation, suggesting that the Germans, upon whom Preziosilla calls for death, are not those involved in the War of the Austrian Succession, as imagined by Rivas and Verdi, but the country’s foreign occupiers, while Ezio Frigerio’s sets provide some dark Spanish visual contexts. And far from the music’s tub-thumping reputation, under the baton of Zubin Mehta, artistic director of the renowned Maggio Musicale festival, was a “thoughtful reading of the instrumental subtleties” that the Opera critic noted. |
