The life lived on the streets is the mirror for the lives of the common… Yes, as with the other exponents of his movement, Puccini also used all these characteristics. However, the most fundamental deviation that would separate him from the others would be the fact that his mirror of the most plain emotions of men and women would reflect this reality of life directly through the idea of woman, on whom he had fixated his gaze; the female’s perspective, the way “the woman” would incorporate jealousy, ambition, compassion, tenderness, and fertility with her love, the yearning with which she lives in perpetuity.

As Istanbul State Opera and Ballet, in our concert, which will take place at the Multipurpose Hall of Atatürk Cultural Center on Saturday, February 26, 2022, we will meet art-lovers with the repertoire that harbours the intimate feelings of Puccini.
