Le Villi & Silenzio - Opera Zuid

Muziek

No Dutch Required

This myth was used before the creation of the world famous ballet giselle . Especially for the production of Opera Zuid, the Dutch composer Karmit Fadael composes a prelude on the theme of the dark forest as a metaphor for getting lost in life.

Anna and Roberto celebrate their engagement, but then he has to pick up an inheritance in the city. "Non ti scordar di me! - Don't forget me! ", Anna calls after her beloved for fear that he will not return. Roberto assures her that he is coming back, after which they will get married. Winter is starting and waiting for her loved one becomes too much. She collapses with a broken heart. On his journey back, not knowing that Anna died, Roberto is seduced. Once at home the spirit of Anna appears for him. She has become a villi. Roberto prays in vain for forgiveness, but Anna is determined to avenge him.

le Villi takes you to a world where love and loss meet in an enchanting interplay of music, drama and dance. For the direction of le Villi , Opera Zuid chooses none other than the experienced choreographer, actress, aerialist and producer Dreya Weber (known from P! NK).
