Buxton’s five-star opera production, Il trionfo del Tempo d del Disinganno, will be performed in Lisbon, Portugal in April 2025.
The production, listed as a ‘must-see opera to book in summer 2024′ (Daily Telegraph) triumphed at last summer’s festival with five-star reviews and standing ovations. It will be performed in Lisbon’s historical Teatro Nacional de Säo Carlos (TNSC) on 9, 11, 13, 26 and 27 April 2025.
Handel’s masterpiece is full of hidden meaning and moral stance, with the characters of Pleasure, Time and Disillusion taking on human form to battle for the soul of Beauty.
The Teatro Nacional de Säo Carlos will use Buxton’s production – the design, staging and costumes – but has cast its own singers in the four leading roles. Beleza (Beauty) will be sung by Eduarda Melo, Prazer (Pleasure) by Ana Vieira Leite, Desengano (Dillusion) by Cátia Moreso and Tempo (Time) by Marco Alves dos Santos.
‘This is such a coup for us’, said BIF’s artistic director Adrian Kelly. We are so excited that our brilliant home-grown production will have life after Buxton.”
