ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
From the first pages of Tenorio ‘s score, the verses written by Lorenzo Da Ponte for Mozart’s Don Giovanni are recognizable . Although based primarily on Zorrilla, the libretto of this chamber opera includes texts by Tirso de Molina, Molière, Da Ponte, Lord Byron, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Quevedo, in a reinterpretation of the classical lyrics that follows the path forged by works such as Segismundo (2003) or El caballero de la triste figura (2004), among others.
Written between 2008 and 2009 by order of the Estío Musical Burgalés of 2010 –where it could not be premiered–, this opera was released in concert version in San Lorenzo de El Escorial in 2017. The work, dedicated to Alfredo García, exposes and updates the myth through its protagonist and the figures of Doña Inés, Doña Ana and Lucía, whose singing attempts to obtain a new vocality but committed to the intelligibility of the text. A small choir or quartet of madrigalists takes on various occasional characters and comments on the action, forming together with the chamber group the vocal-instrumental continuum that sustains the work.
