Love Capital
Opera
O produkciji
Love Capital, Slovenian opera in three acts, reflects the pulse of the present time, in which people unfortunately find themselves more and more convinced that the only true values are money, accumulated wealth and sweetness of power. The story about a love triangle and former friends, each of whom were cruelly pushed at their end of the social ladder, takes place in the dreadful world of social stratification and collapse of moral and ethical values, in places ruled by some kind of new age capitalists, i.e. masters of accumulating wealth through manipulation, fake loans, political connections and theft. One of the most popular operas of the entire opera repertoire was inspired by the novel Scènes de la vie de bohème by Henry Murger and remade for the libretto by the Italians Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. Un ballo in maschera (A Masked Ball) is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi with text by Antonio Somma. However, Somma's libretto was itself based on the five act libretto which playwright Eugène Scribe had written for Daniel Auber's 1833 opera, Gustave III, ou Le bal masqué.
