ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Continuing with the policy of recovering the Spanish lyrical heritage, an eighteenth-century work signed by one of the most important composers of his time, José de Nebra, is recovered. ‘The violation of Lucrecia’ ‘Where there is violence there is no guilt’, which was premiered in the private sphere of the Duke of Medinaceli in 1744.
Although it was released in concert version in 2012, now we have the opportunity to enjoy it on stage as well. The libretto distances itself from the rigidity of mythological zarzuelas, and the value of this work resides especially in its music which, due to its advanced style for the time, is closer to classicism. A title that tells us about gender and violence with this theme collected from the sources of Tito Livio and that Shakespeare would later popularize.
