ENEMIGO DEL PUEBLO

For the first time in its history and to mark the 20th anniversary of its inauguration, Palau de les Arts presents the world premiere of an opera commissioned from the international composer Francisco Coll, with whom it has maintained a close collaboration since Café Kafka, his first foray into opera, followed by the symphonic scores Mural and Ciudad sin sueño. The composer himself takes on the challenge of conducting our orchestra and chorus in a co-production with the Teatro Real, directed by Àlex Rigola, renowned in the world of opera for works such as Madama Butterfly at La Fenice and The Flying Dutchman at the Liceu and the Real. The Catalan stage director and playwright, a virtuoso at reconciling different artistic disciplines with a visionary approach, tackles this political and media-driven plot - which he himself wrote as librettist - inviting reflection through the power of its messages and the acting of quality performers such as José Antonio López in the role of Doctor and Moisés Marín as Alcalde.
