Initially composed for performance during the season of Lent, Donizetti’s Il diluvio universale (‘The Great Flood’) takes a Biblical story and mixes it with the human nature of the main characters, creating a uniquely intense drama. Performed here with a stellar cast in its acclaimed 2023 revival at the Festival Donizetti in Bergamo, this production transports Donizetti’s opera into the present day. In this staging collective and individual destinies are interwoven, urging us to reflect on issues such as the environmental crisis and climate change.
