 Historia de crímenes y castigos88
Presentaron "Las Danaides", tragedia lírica de Antonio Salieri, con dirección de Marcelo Birman.
Hipermnestra se niega a cumplir la orden que el padre ha dado a sus cincuenta hijas, las danaides: el asesinato en la misma noche nupcial de sus respectivos esposos, que son a su vez los cincuenta hijos varones de Egipto, el odiado hermano de Danao.
La obra fluye vocal y orquestalmente con una tensión sostenida, sin puntos muertos, y el coro —en el que también son representados los hijos de Egipto y las hijas de Danao— está sólidamente integrado al desarrollo de la tragedia, como la presente versión lo subraya adecuadamente con distintos acoples y pequeños desplazamientos.
