Composer Franco Faccio and his librettist Arrigo Boito sought a greater degree of musical unity in staged productions and a more equal relationship between text and music. In Hamlet, a play that many then considered un-operatic, they found the perfect medium through which to explore the work's philosophical and dramatic power- not least the great set-piece scenes: Amleto's soliloquy 'Essere o non essere!\" (To be or not to be), Ofelia's Mad Scene and the fight scenes- in a way that strikingly prefigures the verismo operas yet to come. This production premiered at the Bregenz Festival in June 2016; a film of the production followed on C Major, which won numerous accolades. This audio recording was made during the same performances. The production features an excellent cast with the title role taken by Pavel Cernoch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49211000717554,"sku":"NXOC8660454.2","price":38.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3687728-2416359.jpg?v=1778891102","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/faccio-vienna-symphony-orchestra-so-amleto-music-cd-730099045476","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
