Tenorio | Trailer
After its premiere in concert version at Teatro Auditorio San Lorenzo de El Escorial in 2017, the score Tenorio by Tomás Marco will have its full stage premiere at the Teatro Real. Based on José Zorrila's Don Juan Tenorio and with additions by Tirso de Molina, Molière, Lord Byron, Lorenzo da Ponte, Goldoni, Zamora, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and others.
This opera includes content that may not be appropriate for minors.
From the first pages of the score of Tenorio, the verses written by Lorenzo Da Ponte for Mozart’s Don Giovanni are recognisable. Even though it is based principally on Zorrilla, the libretto of this chamber opera brings together texts by de Tirso de Molina, Molière, Da Ponte, Lord Byron, sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Quevedo, in a new reading of the classical writings which follow in the wake of works such as Segismundo (2003) or El caballero de la triste figura (2004), among others.
Composed between 2008 and 2009 at the request of the Estío Musical Burgalés of 2010 – where the premiere was not possible–, this opera was first seen in a concert version in San Lorenzo de El Escorial in 2017. The work, dedicated to Alfredo García, presents, and actualizes the myth through its protagonist and the figures of doña Inés, doña Ana and Lucía, where the singing attempts to find a new vocalism, yet remains committed to the intelligibility of the libretto. A small chorus or madrigal quartet assume various random characters who comment on the action, who, along with a chamber ensemble, make up the vocal- instrumental continuo that sustains the work.
