Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria
Opera in a prologue and three acts
Text: Giacomo Badoaro
Musical direction: Stefan Gottfried
Production and Stage: Jossie Wieler & Sergio Morabit
Based on Homer's epic poem The Odyssey, the opera begins at the moment when Odysseus (Ulisse in Italian) returns home from the Trojan War.
He is dropped off asleep on his home island of Ithaca and disguises himself as a beggar in order to remain unrecognized. The shepherd Eumete takes him in and Odysseus initially only reveals himself to his son Telemaco. His wife Penelope has been torn for 20 years between the hope of Odysseus' return and the courtship of suitors urging her to marry.
