Modern opera has constantly ruffled the feathers of the purists. Whether it would be the same English-language version presented in English National Opera or not has yet to be seen. His artistic vision of George Bizet’s “Carmen” is confirmed for the 2015-16 Season. Also because San Francisco Opera beat them to getting Bieito first. Bieito has been so in demand as of late that the Met had reserved a spot for him for the 2017-18 Season. The New York Times has revealed that the Metropolitan Opera has hired Bieito for their “new” production of Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Forza del Destino”. Would the Calixto Bieito Naked Operas debut in American theaters soon? That has yet to be seen. Armida became one of the most successful Calixto Bieito Naked Operas to date. Apparently, modern opera fans that flocked to the Komische Oper agreed with his vision. People today have a way of viewing it differently now. And as much as Armida is ought to be presented as a piece de resistance among Rossini’s musical library.

Everyone has a different way of viewing things. When you wanted to be honest about how you feel, rules be damned. But he’s more concerned about the expression rather than the rules. What more if it becomes one of the Calixto Bieito Naked Operas? Expect all hell to break loose.īieito himself has admitted having haters for his radical approach in presenting opera. The idea of translation alone would have horrified the opera purists. A theater company that presented operas in German. (Allegedly Rossini is more concerned about the performers getting the notes right as any true blue bel canto era composer had been) Then Calixto Bieito came to Komische Oper. Except that nudity is not an element in any Rossini opera. Sex, lies and murder just like in Bieito’s interpretation of Lulu. Much of the nudity that Bieito presented in his version of Armida was transfused in how Armida saw the men around her. Having him fully-clothed in one of the Calixto Bieito Naked Operas is a visual commentary on how “honorable men” are viewed. But she would still go for the fully-clothed Rinaldo. He shows Armida as a liberated and headstrong woman surrounded by naked men. He then moves forward with a criticism of how an empowered woman is viewed. He ditches the fantasy element in the opera. Nudity as commentary is also evident in his version of Gioachino Rossini’s Armida. That Lulu’s charm has worn off even when she has taken all of her clothes off. Showing Lulu at the end of the opera totally nude served as Bieito’s commentary to the character. Who in his right mind would take the side of a woman that murdered his father? Only Lulu. So why hold back on the nudity then? As one of the Calixto Bieito Naked Operas, having Lulu topless in most scenes reveals the only power she possessed after all.

As a full opera, it is basically about sex, lies and murder. A seductress with manipulative skills of demonic levels. The titular character in the tragic opera is an amoral woman. It was one of the more popular productions he has done for Theater Basel Switzerland. The nudity in his version of Alban Berg’s Lulu is somewhat expected. Disturbing your audiences through the Calixto Bieito Naked Operas meant forcing them to think. But the bold moves to make people see operas in a way he saw them would force them to think. It caused him to see operas like Lulu and Armida in a way that meant to shock the audience. The skills to shock and scare were from his experience of being taught by the Jesuits. Thanks to watching films with distorted values from Luis Bunuel. His warped visions were translated on stage. Bieito would attribute his dark humor to Spanish literary great Cervantes.
