Il gran pontefice Zaccaria rincuora la sua gente. In mano ebrea è tenuta come ostaggio la figlia di Nabucco, Fenena, la cui custodia Zaccaria affida a Ismaele, nipote del re di Gerusalemme. Questi, tuttavia, promette alla giovane di restituirle la libertà, perché un giorno a Babilonia egli stesso, prigioniero, era stato liberato da Fe- nena. I due innamorati stanno organizzando la fuga, quando giunge nel tempio Abigaille, supposta figlia di Nabucco, a comando di una schiera di Babilonesi. Anch’essa è innamorata di Ismaele e minaccia Fenena di riferire al padre che ella ha tentato di fuggire con uno stra- niero; infine si dichiara disposta a tacere a patto che Ismaele rinunci alla giovane. -

G010003126831D Se tu conoscessi Semiramide, sventurata la diresti, non rea. Kenntest du Semiramis, würdest du sie unglücklich nennen, nicht schuldig. Nessuno amò la povera regina, nessuno! Niemand liebt die arme Königin, nicht einer! Ella è sola, si sente sola nel suo vasto impero, come un’isola deserta sul mare. Sie ist allein, sie fühlt sich einsam in ihrem unermesslichen Imperium, wie eine verlassene Insel im Meer. Ognuno in lei vede e desidera la regina; Die Königin ist es, die alle in ihr sehen und begehren: nessuno ha amato la donna. Keiner liebt die Frau allein. Semiramide. Racconto babilonese (Anton Giulio Barrili, 1873) Semiramide. Racconto babilonese (Anton Giulio Barrili, 1873) If you knew Semiramis, you would call her unfortunate, not guilty. Si tu connaissais Sémiramis, tu la jugerais malheureuse, et non point coupable. No one loves the poor queen, no one! Personne n’aima la pauvre reine, personne! She is alone, she feels alone in her vast empire, Elle est seule, elle se sent seule dans son vaste empire, like a desert island in the sea. comme une île déserte au milieu de la mer. It is the queen that everyone sees in her and desires; Chacun voit et désire en elle la reine ; no one loved the woman. Mais jamais la femme ne fut aimée. Semiramide.

´ La BohemeA Vivid Original Design Production! Artistic Director Steffanie Pearce Music Director Greg Ritchey Stage Director Josh Shaw Assistant Conductor & Chorus Master Brian Holman Set Designer Ardean Landhuis Lighting & Projections Designer January 24, 2021 | 6:30pm Tlaloc Lopez-Waterman Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Center Wardrobe Supervisor Caitlin Durrance The Blagojevic Sponsored -Sazonov Group In Part By: at A Message From The ARTISTIC DIRECTOR For our highly anticipated Barbara B. Mann debut, we present a fresh new look at this most popular Puccini opera. The idea came when I was searching for a poster image. Mindful that Puccini composed the work at the height of the Impressionist movement, I started looking at Paris street scenes of that period and came across Van Gogh’s Terrace Cafe at Night. The painting sparked a vision of the characters in the opera living upstairs from that cafe and coming down to hang out there, just like Van Gogh and the Paris Impressionists would have. A vibrant young creative team from across the United States have been collaborating since October to bring this original design production of Puccini’s most loved grand opera to Southwest Florida. Stage director, Josh Shaw, describing this new production explains, “La Bohème is a timeless story with themes as relevant today, as they were in the original setting. In the late 1880s Paris was filled with a concentration of larger than life artistic characters -- Van Gogh, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and others. In our production, we are imagining our bohemian lovers as moving in the same circles as the great Impressionist artists who rebelled against classical subject matter and embraced modernity, creating works that reflected the world in which they lived. -
