DESCRIPTION

First performed in 1865, 'Amleto' (Hamlet) represented a radical new development in Italian opera, the nuovo melodramma. Composer Franco Faccio and his librettist Arrigo Boito sought a greater degree of musical unity in staged productions and a more equal relationship between text and music. In Hamlet, a play that many then considered un-operatic, they found the perfect medium through which to explore the work's philosophical and dramatic power - not least the great set-piece scenes: Amleto's soliloquy `Essere o non essere!' (`To be or not to be'), Ofelia's mad scene and the fight scenes - in a way that strikingly prefigures the verismo operas yet to come.
