DIE LUSTIGE WITWE (THE MERRY WIDOW) - LA FENICE - venezia

FRANZ LEHÁR, DIE LUSTIGE WITWE (THE MERRY WIDOW)

february 2018

La Fenice Opera House

Conductor: Stefano Montanari

Director: Damiano Michieletto

Sets: Paolo Fantin

Costumes: Carla Teti

Light designer: Alessandro Carletti

Choreography: Chiara Vecchi

La Fenice Opera House new production

Fondazione Teatro La Fenice together with Fondazione Teatro dell’Opera di Roma co-production. Decima has reproduced three scenography for the Franz Lehár Operetta: a bank, a dance hall and an office, whole consisting of equipped walls on Wagons. Printed curtain and glass walls design, based on sketches of Paolo Fantin scenographer.


An imaginary kingdom like Pontevedro re-evoked in a sparkling ville lumière where the tragic-comic adventures of a series of characters that could come from our upper-class news columns take place, and a millionaire widow is encouraged to remarry owing to reasons of State while a young lady, as elegant as her name, tries to conceal a dangerous flirt. Die lustige Witwe blends the lightness and brilliance of the brushstrokes (a combination of publicity and the figurative arts) that characterise the work of Toulouse-Lautrec with the agitated, tormented lines of the women in Giovanni Boldrini’s portraits. The result is a marvellous caricature of a society that lives off bubbles. 

 

 


THE SETS PROJECT

The three scenes designed by Paolo Fantin are developed in Pontevedro Bank, in the Balera / Teatro Roma and in the offices of the Consulate.


the construction

The realization foresee scene changes with open curtain by moving, raising and overlapping the various elements. The wooden walls has been mounted on wagons with wheels, painted and decorated according to sketches. The dancing figures, the decorative elements and the finishes of the balera are all in relief and hand  painted, the stage with the musicians for the scene of the dance hall are realized with modular platforms and an aluminum ring suitable for fixing of perimetrical velvet curtains and stage lighting, also the half-timbered screens are made according to the designer's design and dimensions.

 
the installation

There in in the second scene a side wall with functioning access doors and windows, decorated with curtains printed as a specific design and colors defined with the sets designer, the transparency of the fabric allows to the lights to glimpse outside giving that sense of "window on the world".

We also made tablecloth prints with a colorful vintage fantasy.

The final scene that develops in the offices uses a part of the window wall of the balera and is completed with a long wall in two elements that fit together and which remain out of sight on the side until they are used.

All the above can be dismantled and transported  in theatre stores.

acquagranda - la fenice - venezia

50 years later, La Fenice theatre wanted to recall the tragic event of November 4th 1966 Venice flood, with the drama in music “Aquagranda”, which inaugurated the 2016-2017 lyrical season on the fiftieth anniversary.

Thanks to the scenes of Paolo Fantin, a wall of water was poured on the actors to recall those moments.

Decima designed and built the scenographic element of the "water window": the large tank, the polycarbonate wall that fills up in 45 minutes and then drains the water onto the scene in 2 minutes.

The large tank has been built with frames in aluminum trusses which form rectangular sections for the modular polycarbonate windows (10x3 meters). In each section we installed pumps to shake the water, exhaust valves (“slow mode” and “fast mode”) and pumps for the dye injection. The project was completed by a perforated collection tank which created a rain effect.
