Arcus Temporum is a contemporary multi-disciplinary festival at the Benedictine Archabbey of Pannonhalma, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Emio Greco’s newest piece, Double Points: VERDI gives a pure feminine and physical voice to three iconic heroines of the Italian opera, who subvert the social expectations: Violetta in La Traviata, Giovanna in Giovanna d’Arco and Desdemona in Otello.
Unfulfilled desire, unrequited love, unexpected destiny – Double Points:
VERDI translates these typical operatic themes into a contemporary spectacle
that goes beyond the limits of dance and opera. The music is based on original
audio recordings of the well-known divas Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi and Joan
Sutherland.
