The grandiose idea of giving a musical form to the Aeneid led to Berlioz creating a powerful tragedy, which is unique in recreating with classical precision the shadows of the past as imagined by Virgil’s poem. It is the finest posthumous masterpiece in the history of opera: the French musician died without ever seeing it on stage. He had conceived, at the same time as Wagner conceived his “tetralogy”, a grand-opéra with a cast of twenty formed by two operas: a “dilogy” set in two different locations - La prise de Troie and Les Troyens à Cartage - in each of which we witness the destiny of two women who are defeated by their fate, the unheeded prophetess Cassandre and the abandoned queen Didon. For these two archetypal heroines it would have been impossible to find finer performers than Anna Caterina Antonacci and Daniela Barcellona. Alongside them will be young talent like Paolo Fanale, Maria Radner, Alexandre Duhamel, Fabio Capitanucci and great legends, Samuel Ramey and Elena Zilio. The role of Aenea is played by virtuoso Gregory Kunde. The monumental drama will feature the opera debut on the La Scala podium of Antonio Pappano, who is seen as one of the finest contemporary performers. This foreboding and bellicose work of classical antiquity is brought to life and given a form – from the wooden horse, to royal hunts– by specialist Scottish director David McVicar, whose career spans more than thirty operas.
