Edgar

Edgar

Original rediscovered Puccini Opera!
A fake death, a perverse woman and a pure woman, a man torn
between them, a murder: the story of Edgar, Giacomo Puccini's
second opera, is full of dramatic turns of events. Arthaus Musik
presents this powerful and tragic opera now in a version which was
count for lost for nearly 120 years.
For the fi rst time the original version in four acts of Edgar by Giacomo
Puccini was staged at the Teatro Regio in Turin in 2008. Thanks to the
rediscovery of the manuscript score, after 119 years since the fi rst and
only performance in Milan in 1889 and after numerous versions condensing the opera in three acts, it will be again possible
to experience the original opera that Puccini wrote. It was only when the American Puccini expert Linda B. Fairtile began
reconstructing the original orchestration of the almost 40-minute fi nal act that the composer's granddaughter, Simonetta
Puccini, came up with the intact score. JosÃ© Cura, acclaimed all over the world for his intense interpretations, is Edgar. His rich
and brilliant tenor voice, together with his fascinating stage presence, make him one of the most charismatic and sought-after
artists in the world. With him, two prima donnas, two artists of great charm and with skyrocketing careers: the Italian soprano
Amarilli Nizza and the Russian mezzo-soprano Julia Gertseva.
