There is only one chance to experience the concert performance in the same performance on November 29 at 19.00 in the Great Hall of the University of Latvia.
The famous, well-known story of the Italian master Dante Alighieri about the journey of Dante and his faithful companion Virgil through the nine circles of hell, through purgatory to paradise is an icon of the entire Western world literature, which inspired the creation of works of art countless new ones in different genres. The Divine Comedy It is so compelling because it combines an unprecedented, detailed, magnificent and mythical fantasy world with transformative dialogues that have inspired and challenged the human imagination, fueling 600 years of self-discovery back then and today.
The creators of the show wanted this show to be like an invisible circle of light and the flow of a clear river of love. “It started with music for me,” Kaspars Putniņš explains. “Italian folk music will play a rather important role here. This music was played very often at that time, so Dante must have heard it. To expand this knowledge with readings from the divine comedies, in fact, I couldn’t think of anyone else but Juri Strenga. When he starts reading passages, I could sit for a week and listen. It’s so exciting.”
On the other hand, Juris Strenga says that he mainly wants to raise a brighter and more positive side of this work. A relationship with the Lord, who is already divine in himself. “The most important thing is for people to enjoy this moment, that we are alive and everything is still ahead of us, and not get involved in various philosophical speculations. It would be good if people took it more simply,” said the actor.
The concert performance is based on poetry from Dante Alighieri Divine commies In the reading by Dîura Strenga, there are works of modern composers, which are united with lightness, sensitivity and a transcendental sound, which shines the mastery of the choir. From the various musical acts dedicated to For the Divine Comedy, K. Putniņš has chosen Gērģa Ligeti, written for a choir of sixteen Helderlin’s Three Fantasies, Santa Ratniece’s compositions for choir and harp Morning Night, where the paradise described by Dante will be published, as well as other works by modern authors. On the other hand, medieval Italian folk music gives the message a joyous and danceable vibe.
