Description
Luigi Dallapiccola wrote his own libretto for his early one-act opera Volo di notte, based on the novel Vol de nuit [“Night Flight”] by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Although it is a twelve-tone work, Dallapiccola used the technique somewhat loosely.
The piece is set in a South American airport in the 1930s. Rivière, the airport’s manager, having only one thing in mind – profit – decides to keep the airport open for all-night operation, dispatching his pilots without hesitation for night flights, even in the worst weather conditions. Protestations from a pilot’s wife and his employees only reinforce his ambitions – and his deranged greed soon claims its first victim; without ado, he sends a courier on an overnight flight to Europe; he is determined that nothing will stop him from reaping profits from his plan.
