The flexibility and mobility of the staging created by the Austrian film director contrasts with the frosty atmosphere to emphasise the humanity of the characters that progress from naïve feelings to a whirlwind of situations which put their emotions to the test. Love can seriously damage the health of these two pairs of lovers, who are manipulated by the Machiavellian Don Alfonso and Despina –an odd couple working together to break up the relationships. The new staging concept delivers the recitative passages in a new way, giving the scenes more intensity and reaching a different and more ambiguous denouement in this new reading of the story. Simply magnificent and certainly cutting-edge!
