children’s opera
This weekend (Saturday at 12:00 and 17:30; Sunday at 11:00 and 13:00), the Royal Retiro Theater will offer the latest performances of the opera ‘The Child and the Spells’, by Maurice Ravel, aimed at family audiences (children from 8 years old).
Ravel took very seriously the recreation of this children’s universe, with a brilliant and colorful orchestration and a score that mixes elements of classical music, traditional melodies and jazz rhythms, written as a fantasy refuge after the First World War. . The opera premiered in Monte Carlo in 1926 and has since been incorporated into the children’s and youth lyrical repertoire.
In the lyrical fantasy ‘The Child and the Spells’, the cosmological vision of a young child and his process of psychological evolution are shown on stage, from the egocentrism typical of his age to the birth of empathy. If in the beginning the entire universe revolves naturally around himself, as he listens to the lament of the objects and animals he has mistreated, he gradually understands that there are other realities, other sensibilities around him worthy of his consideration. .
