Explanatory Notes
The fifth of popular series of opera at the Pit is Il Linguaggio dei Fiori(The Language of Flowers) by the Italian composer,
Renzo Rossellini (1908-1982). The opera was premiered in Milan in 1963. It is based on a play by Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936),
who is a symbolic poet and playwright in Spain. In this play, Garcia Lorca depicts the 30-year-long transformation of a woman
who has been patiently waiting to marry her fiance, by comparing her to a rose, which begins to blossom early in the morning,
comes into full and beautiful bloom during the day, and sheds its petals before it quietly disappears in the darkness of night.
It will be extremely interesting to see how Nobuaki Imai, an up-and-coming stage director who is first appearing at the NNTT,
will express the passage of time in this opera.
Synopsis
Rosita, who has been brought up by her uncle and his wife, is engaged to her cousin. She keeps expecting their wedding day,
but her fiance suddenly receives a letter from his father asking him to come home in order to take over the family's farm.
Believing her cousin's vow to be coming back, she decides to wait for that day. Being irritated and impatient that the two have only been exchanging letters for over 10 years,
the housekeeper encourages Rosita's aunt to make Rosita marry another man. And then, Rosita receives a letter from her fiance saying
that she should have a proxy wedding ceremony with somebody else as her groom, because he cannot come back for a while.
Time has passed and Rosita's hair has turned gray, but she continues waiting for her cousin...
