Opera Zuid - Le Villi & Silenzio
Le Villi is an enchanting dance opera full of passion, love and mysticism. Puccini's debut takes you to a world where past and present merge, and where broken hearts do not go unpunished. Le ville is inspired by the myth of the Vilja: young women who died of heartbreak.
Villi
The age-old myth of the Vilja previously inspired the famous ballet Giselle, and is now also at the heart of Le Villi. Especially for this production, Karmit Fadael composed the enchanting Silenzio, a musical prelude in which the dark forest symbolises getting lost in life.
Anna and Roberto are celebrating their engagement. But when he has to travel to collect an inheritance, she still calls after him: ‘Don't forget me!’ Winter comes. Anna waits, in vain. She dies of a broken heart. When Roberto returns, seduced and ignorant of her death, her ghost appears. Anna has become a Villi and she is determined to make him pay. Until death follows.
