Lorin Maazel, the Musical Director of the Palau deles Arts in Valencia returned to the City two days ago after learning of the accident with the stage lifting gear. After carrying out a rehearsal for “Don Giovanni”, he stated that ‘we would not fail our public’, and confirmed that the opera would be stage as was originally planned, to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the birth of the composer, and that the six performances of the opera would go ahead as planned -on December 16, 19, 22, 26, 28 & 30, with Erwin Schortt as Don Giovanni, who recently played this part with great success at Covent Garden in London. Equally enthusiastic was stage director Jonathan Miller, who apart from expressing his agreement with Maestro Maazel, added that as a result of the accident, he had invented a new space for the opera to be staged in the interior of the auditorium thanks to the extra large orchestra pit, which was yet another means of bringing the opera closer to the audience.Author: Valencia Life
