Diego summons up the courage to speak to Frida; he sings an aria (“Come back to me”) revealing his fears and loneliness, and collapses to the ground. He confesses that he would like to accept god, and begs Frida to come “since you have never returned.” Villagers help Diego up; an old woman tries to sell him flowers. She is one of the recipients of the top prize for costume design at the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space in 2007 and was a member of the International Jury at the Prague Quadrennial 2015 and member of the jury for World Stage Design 2017 held in Taipei, Taiwan.

In 2010 he was selected as lighting director for the Bicentennial Celebration in the traditional and commemorative Noche del Grito (Night of the Scream) at the Plaza Zócalo in Mexico City.

The tale, even in its most simplistic form, is testament enough to the gross inequalities and inequities of the time and the fact that Lucia’s brother, Enrico, deliberately plotted, lied, and fabricated to coerce his sister into marrying for his own gain is an act that would warrant unanimous audience repulsion from all quarters. I found certain aspects of the production and direction to be superfluously brutal and bordering on being misandristic. Enrico was a sufficiently unpleasant individual without having him explode with threatening, violent menace when insisting that Lucia marries Arturo. Lucia’s miscarriage is garish, the entire lower half of her body drenched with the blood of her loss, a symbol of the perceived crimes inflicted upon her by men, yet the crime she herself commits, a murder via multiple, stabbing creates no visible blood at all.

The Royal Opera's exploration of Handel's Covent Garden operas and oratorios continues with his final masterpiece, Jephtha, which premiered on this site in 1752. This epic new production is staged by Director of The Royal Opera Oliver Mears and is conducted by Handel specialist Laurence Cummings.
