PROSERPINE (Silvia Colasanti) Spoleto Festival dei due Mondi June 2019

I think Silvia Colasanti is a genius. Without digressing into praise and accolades for "La Metamorfosi" (Kafka, now that's seriously heavy literature) and "Minotauro", this production of "Proserpine" is not only a delicious visual fête; it is also worthy of high praise for it's enchanting and masterfully composed score wherein a (usually clumsy) English libretto is heavily infused with the beauty of Italianate lyricism with a healthy dose of Strauss-like structuring and atmospheric moodiness. Fortunate indeed are the gifted singers and production teams who are selected to collaborate with Ms. Colasanti on the stagings of her noteworthy oeuvres.
