L'enigma de Lea
2019 | Assistant director
Music - Opera
Lea, a creature who has belonged to God and exists to serve divine pleasure (“pure instinct, crystalline sensuality”), lives in a timeless space and cannot reveal her secret. The bearer of immortality, she is under surveillance from two monstrous beings who guarantee morality against individual freedom. This opera, the first composed by Benet Casablancas, to a text by writer Rafael Argullol, expresses the ideal that was the last of the Romantic Utopias: that of touching the Absolute.
Opera in three parts.
Text by Rafael Argullol. World premiere February 9th at the Gran Teatre del Liceu of Barcelona.
