September 28 Free live screening of the opera Adriana Lecouvreur at the winter theatre in San Javier
The live screening in the Parque Almansa of San Javier is part of National Opera Week in Spain
The winter theatre in the Parque Almansa in the centre of San Javier is one of 200 venues all over Spain at which a performance of the opera Adriana Lecouvreur, composed by Francesco Cilea, is to be transmitted to live audiences on 28th September as part of the national “Semana de la Ópera” celebrations which are being held by the Teatro Real in Madrid.
The opera was not premiered until 1902, although it is based on an 1849 play by Eugène Scribe and Ernest Legouvé, and is based on the life of the French actress Adrienne Lecouvreur (1692–1730). Only a little of the episode it recalls is historically true and it is mostly fictional, with the idea of poisoning the protagonist with violets the least plausible of those included. On this occasion the performers include María Agresta and Matthew Polenzani in a production which has graced the Royal Opera House, the Wiener Staatsoper, the Ópera National in París and the San Francisco Opera, and admission to the theatre in San Javier is free of charge.
The performance and screening begin at 19.30.
