DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAMME
This Italian-style harmonic opera, presented in a private palace in Madrid in 1705, symbolises the new Bourbon order after the War of the Spanish Succession between the Hapsburgs and the Bourbons. The merits of the new monarchy shine through between the struggles of the natural elements that fight in this Spanish-language opera to establish themselves as the centre of cosmological power, using the best finery of Spanish verse, still reflecting the Golden Age, and the forms from the Italian opera, with distant echoes of Monteverdi.
