ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Premiered to critical acclaim
«William Wallace shone in the thankless role of Gregor Samsa. The British tenor demonstrated his acting abilities (…) from the start smeared with dark material and crawling around the stage. All without detriment to his singing, a very effective long dramatic recitative that Wallace sang impeccably.”
«Escudero has achieved a fantastic work extracting from the original text all the bewilderment, anguish and nonsense that Kafka developed in his novel.”
“Gregor’s sister was played by the soprano Paula Mendoza. She possesses a very beautiful voice, which projected well in the theater of Zamora”
«From the very first note, the score transports us to an atmosphere of uneasiness”
