About

This 2010 Jesi production is conscious of the complexity of Il Flaminio for all its seeming simplicity and cleverly exploits. Without any attempt at realism (the main action takes place “in a villa on the outskirts of the city of Naples, complete with hunting lodge, etc.”, but just a handful of props to symbolise the bucolic atmosphere), the production concentrates on establishing a kind of meta-theatrical relationship to this repertoire work which sets out to highlight the interweaving and overlayering of truth and fiction, passion and irony, tragedy and comedy.

The orchestra sits behind a broad wooden platform and suspended netting decorated with leaves; every so often scenes about the characters’ private lives open up on various levels (these serve to expand the audience perspective both horizontally and vertically), as if the plot were following the inner development of these living characters.

The theatrical narrative unravels – through a brilliant succession of dramatic and light-hearted moments – to its predictable happy ending.

In addition to being highly serious, ingenious and fabulous entertainment in its own right, Il Flaminio is substantive proof of the key role Naples played in developing the genre for European audiences.

Theater in its purest form! Opera buffa is as alive and dynamic as it was three centuries ago. We haven’t had such an evening of enchantment and musical delicacies in years.” - Il Giornale della Musica

This comedy is a musical gem […] The Bizantini play magnifi cently. They are led by Ottavio Dantone, full of energy and tenderness…“ - Il Sole 24 Ore
