Description
When Berio decided to write a libretto in 1957 about the sinking of the Titanic, it was called a rappresentazione. However, before he
completed it, he realised that it was not going to meet the requirements of
traditional musical theatre. Over the next 12 – 13 years,
he created “Opera” (plural of “opus”), wherein the Titanic tragedy no longer figures; there is no longer a plot in
this “non-story.” So there is no libretto, either; the words, like the music, are part of the score.
The material consists of three layers, all of them simultaneously
present – the ship sinking slowly, the production of the Open Theatre, entitled
“Terminal” (= fatal, as in an illness) and the Orpheus myth (which includes
fragments of Alessandro Striggio’s libretto for Monteverdi’s Orfeo).
