La Sonnambula

Synopsis

This 'spirited and witty' – in the words of Germany's prestigious daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung – new production of Vincenzo Bellini's (1801-1835) 'La sonnambula' dazzles with its lovingly detailed and imaginative sets which reproduce a Swiss alpine resort in the 1930s (Bellini himself set the action in a Swiss village). Complete with a majestic mountain panorama, cable car, post-bus and grand salon, not to mention the colorfully dressed resort guests, set designer Massimo Checchetto deploys an enchanting picture book of visual surprises.
