Opera and madness in the works of the Palace of Fine Arts

  • Aucune catégorie

The Friends of the Museums join this event by showing the paintings illustrating scenes of human madness as the artists conceived them with the opera arias they illustrated. The 'Medea' by Delacroix sung by Maria Callas illustrates the murderous madness and infanticide that is the worst of human follies. From Bellini to Donizetti the music will allow to bring back what it causes in the viewer: fear, silence, the despair of mothers and the innocence of children. Goya is immured in deafness but he denounces the horrors of war and the unreason of man, a source of inspiration for Benjamin Britten’s 'War Requiem'.
