SIFACE: L’AMOR CASTRATO
Exciting performance of brilliant arias reflecting the torrid and spectacular lifestyle of the late 17th century.
Resounding and passionate. Such was the life of Giovanni Francesco Grossi (1653-1697), also known as Siface, whose personality and attractiveness did not leave his contemporaries indifferent; the singer toured Europe, reaping successes and premiering operas that would go down in history.
In this adaptation, Nereydas, the ensemble founded and directed by Javier U. Illán, through the voice of Filippo Mineccia takes us into the glorious yet dark life of one of the most amazing, castrated singers of the 17th century; a man whose intense life and tragic death transport us to that place where love has a price, where being free is inconceivable.
Siface: L’amor castrato will take us on this road trip through European scenarios of the 17th century and through the emotions and passions of Siface, the castrated singer who died murdered for revenge at the foot of his carriage, only for having wanted to live, only for having loved. In this performance, Ane Pikaza, its artistic director, presents an imaginary space that will resonate the timelessness of love and violence experienced throughout the ages.
