Mefistofele by Arrigo Boito
conductor: S.Ranzani director: Del Monaco cast: Furlanetto, Filianoti, Theodossiou, Zaramella, Minarelli, Ghegghi

Boito's Mefistofee is an opera that nowadays is rarely performed. It features the etrenal struggle between Good and Evil, in a path made of temptation, lust and redemption that director Del Monaco sets in a contemporaray society. At the beginning the location and the costumes recall the German expressionism of the 30es that are soon abandoned to become a glittering Vegas-like location with a hint of rocky Horror picture show. The prologue and epilogue scenes contain memorable scenes effects featuring a timeless dark tunnel with a blaze of heavenly light at the end of it.
