Il Combattimento

A man wakes and blinks. He remembers what happened, or was it a dream? In this searching production, love, guilt and violence merge into a feverish dream. The life of the notorious composer-murderer Gesualdo and Monteverdi's composition Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, about a knight who kills his beloved because he does not recognise her in armour, form the sources of inspiration for this programme.
