Conversation with
Luca Lombardi (with musical examples)
Il re nudo is the first opera
by Luca Lombardi to be performed in Italy. Lombardi is at his
fourth experience in the opera field, after the recent success of his Prospero in
Nürnberg. Stage director will be Dmitri Bertman, Russian, among
the most significant in contemporary theatre, founder and artistic
director of Moscow Helikon Opera, at his Roman debut.
Main character is not a typical opera singer, but the
popular singer Elio of "Elio e le Storie Tese", together with a cast of
outstanding performers.
The subject of this chamber opera, commissioned by the
Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, is freely inspired by a 1934 play by Evgeny
Shvarts, in its turn based upon three famous fairy tales by Hans
Christian Andersen: The
Emperor’s New Clothes, The Princess and The Pea and The Swineheard.

Luca Lombardi at the
Turin International Book Fair
Lombardi will discuss his new
work Terra for orchestra with the musicologist Enrico Fubini.
By entitling this
composition Terra (Earth, but also Soil, Ground or Land) I
thought about the different meanings of the Italian term. The planet we
live on, the solid part of the earth´s surface, the land as a
nation, and last but not least one of the four elements. The initinal
stimulus came from the second meaning and its material implications
(underground telluric mouvements).
Part of this composition
was written in Israel, a "land" I particularly love. There I considered
naming the piece "Eretz", in Hebrew, which in the combination "eretz
Israel" means "Land of Israel". For this reason I included two
quotations of Israel melodies: The first one from the song live in this
land, the second one taken from Hatikva (Hope), the state of
Israel´s anthem. My hope is, that this state will keep existing,
for its own good as well as for the good of the neighbours and of
ourselves.
