The Power of Images in Performance: Josef Svoboda's Scenography for Intolleranza 1960 at Boston Opera Company
Original language description
In 1965 the Czech scenographer Josef Svoboda and Sarah Caldwell, the leading American conductor and opera director, worked on a contemporary operatic work, Intolleranza 1960 by Luigi Nono, in Boston Opera Company. With its unprecedented use of images, this production introduced a new form of theatrical representation strikingly different from conventional opera and drama performances. The key to the visuality of the performance rested in the presence of different kinds of projected images in combinationwith the stage action of protagonists ? or, at times, in the stark contrast of the absence of such images. The production also included several moments, when images on stage functioned as a mirror and, with minimal delay, showed the action taking placeon and off stage and, according to Svoboda's testimony and reviews, also the action taking place in the audience.
