Germán Alonso's harrowing opera Marie confronts us with the painful and universal tragedy of contemporary women in the 21st century. This production, directed by the composer himself and Rafael R. Villalobos, features two outstanding contemporary opera singers: Xavier Sabata as Woyzeck, and Nicola Beller Carbone as the various shades of Marie.
Inspired by Georg Büchner's play Woyzeck, the story reinvents the literary classic with a powerful gender perspective, delving into the violence and fierce hardships suffered by a single mother punished for her sexual freedom.
