Dance de Monserrat Caballe tribute KonpainiaAl, symbolically he started the season at the Teatro de la Zarzuela, followed by the premiere of El Caserío, Jesus Guridi and libretto by Federico Romero and Guillermo Fernandez-Shaw. The scenery is run by Pablo Viar and Daniel Bianco.Tiene eight years of travel in coproduction with ABAO of Bilbao and the Campoamor Theater in Oviedo, but this right is not affected scenery over time. Two scenarios, the entrance of a village and traditional pediment, They take us to a timeless and unmistakable Basque Country.
Production that presents the Teatro de la Zarzuela, and that it was shown in Madrid Canal Theaters, He has been omitted, rightly, of some of the dialogue and more costumbristas passages and which they are very outdated.
Critics of the zarzuela always point as one of their problems to be represented and understood today, some ancient texts, by jetlagged. But all is hopeless, as it takes demonstrating the Teatro de la Zarzuela in recent seasons. What does not change is the music aging, always fresh and processed Jesus Guridi. We narrates the story accurately and delineating the moods of his characters, thanks to a perfect orchestration.
Leading the Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Juanjo Mena. Another Basque who makes the best reading of a score rich in color and musicality. Very good pulse pulls the best performance of ORCAM and Choir, this time has an important role and covers actoral, with his performance, the lack of other narrative and scenic elements.
Another surprise of this village are the popular dances by Aukeran Dantza Konpainia, under the direction of Eduardo Muruamendiaraz. Of professionalism and absolute perfection in execution. Very well integrated into the scenes, They were an inspiring element and contextualizing of the entire work. They provided dynamism and fluidity performing transitions.
A production like this can only count on first-rate voices, as well it has been. Ódena Angel turns to gold everything that sings, and his character Uncle Santi would not be less. Accompanied de Andeka Gorrotxategi, with a beautiful and unique tenore di forza bell, giving life to a scatterbrained José Miguel frívolon and, until he finds the love of Ana Mari, which it shapes Rachel Rojendio, another luxury for the cast.
Inosensia character is in charge of other insurance value at this theater, Marife Nogales sings, dances and acts, You can not ask for more. Pablo García López is responsible for giving life to a vibrant Txomin, which is well accompanied by the amusing scene Eustasia, de Hope Mentxaca, marido of the idle Inosensia, who plays Eduardo Carranza and a troubled Don Leoncio, Hand José Luis Martínez.
A more attractive start to the season will be continued, with music by Guridi, in his first opera, Mirentxu, concert version that we see the 22 Y 24 of November, Ainhoa Arteta and Mikeldi Atxalandabaso protagonists.
