It is Furlani\u2019s second opera for children (The first was La casa dei mostri -The House of Monsters) and the first in which many of the roles are interpreted by children.<br \/>\nThe opera is based on the famous fairy tale by Andersen The New Suit (or The Emperor\u2019s New Suit). This fairy tale originated in Spain and a variation on it can be clearly identified in El retablo de las maravillas, an interlude by Cervantes which Furlani himself put to music in his second full-scale opera in 1995.<br \/>\nThe libretto is based on the theatrical adaptation that Gianni Rodari made of the fairy tale and that Einaudi published in 1974.<br \/>\nThis opera seeks to combine the simplicity of traditional songs for children with a contemporary musical language: simplicity and original creative energy \u201csince it is essential that there be a repertory tailored for those who are taking their first steps within our great cultural tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n<address>SCENES<\/address>\n<p>Scene 1: a reception hall in the imperial palace that leads to the emperor\u2019s private rooms<br \/>\nScene 2: the workshop of the two tailors, which becomes the balcony overlooking the town square<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/foto-tipo-per-il-sito1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/foto-tipo-per-il-sito1-300x168.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"foto-tipo-per-il-sito\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1050\" \/><\/a><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Rw4cXmGi9M\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2009 Chamber opera for children, in two scenes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opere-liriche-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1557"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1559,"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1557\/revisions\/1559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paolofurlani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
