El Corte Inglés Málaga hosts the screening of Act I of San Francisco de Asís (1983), the only opera composed by Olivier Messiaen and one of the most monumental works of the 20th century. The session will take place on Monday, 10 August at 6:30 p.m., within the cycle Hablando de Ópera (VII), directed by Lourdes Jiménez Fernández, Doctora en Historia del Arte and cultural manager.
The production features Camilla Tilling, Rod Gilfry, Hubert Delamboye and Tom Randle; stage direction by Pierre Audi; The Hague Philharmonic and the Chorus of Nederlandse Ópera; conducted by Martin Wright. The complete work has a running time of 275 minutes.
On this occasion, Paco Berrocal will offer an in‑depth study and analysis of the opera, exploring Messiaen’s musical language, its 1983 premiere, and the structure of a piece that moves away from conventional dramatic narrative to present a spiritual meditation on the path to sainthood of San Francisco de Asís.
The event will be presented by Francisco Jesús Berrocal Díaz, maestro de enseñanza pública jubilado.
