Don Giovanni
Directed by Enrico Stinchelli
@ Teatro Filarmonico Verona 2019
Enrico Stinchelli's Don Giovanni inaugurates the 2019 opera season at the Teatro Filarmonico of Verona. The director entrusted us with the project and the realization of the set design.
The scenes, created by Ezio Antonelli, are inspired by the visionary and revolutionary architecture of Étienne-Louis Boullée and Claude-Nicolas Ledoux.
The video projection design created a completely virtual visual environment, in constant dynamic evolution, in which immersive virtual images have completed some scenic elements. Front projections on double black tulle (one proscenium and the other interior) are added to a backlit backdrop.
The scene and the actions acquire depth and appear wrapped in plastic environments that, as they move, almost make up a large paper theater (Toy Theater).
Gardens, landscapes, buildings, doors, windows... like watercolors, cut out in silhouettes, flow fluidly with apparitions and revelations.
Images filmed on the green screen and visions reflected on semi-reflective 3D surfaces have recreated a world of the end of the 18th century.
