Procedura Penale / La smorfia | Teatro Lirico Sperimentale (Spoleto)

20th-century Opera

Procedura penale by Luciano Chailly and La smorfia by Bruno Bettinelli are two short comic operas in one act, conceived as a diptych and thus performed during the first representation at the Teatrino of Villa Olmo in Como, in 1959.

For the first time since the first performance, they are revived in their original form, in a new staging curated by the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale of Spoleto. The skillful, imaginative and surprising writing of composers Chailly and Bettinelli highlights the sophisticated and surreal comedy of their two librettists and celebrated writers: respectively Dino Buzzati and Riccardo Bacchelli.
