Il Diluvio Universale, a &#8220;dialogue for five voices and five instruments&#8221;, was first performed in Messina in 1682, when Michelangelo Falvetti was appointed choirmaster of the cathedral. The story is taken from one of the most well-known and tragic episodes in the Old Testament. Weary of mankind&#8217;s wickedness and corruption, God decides to eliminate man and all other forms of life, unleashing rain on earth for forty days and forty nights. He only spares Noah, his family and the animals of each species that he orders to be housed in the Ark. The topic lends itself perfectly to operatic treatment, and its two creators draw inspiration from it very effectively throughout the play. The libretto, written by Vincenzo Giattini, allowed Falvetti to exploit the drama with a level of genius that can rarely be found in works of the same period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IL DILUVIO UNIVERSALE, FALVETTI\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y_NMRvXO2lc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<section class=\"container\">\n\n\n\n    \n        <h2 class=\"titre-secondaire-basic\">Prochaines dates<\/h2>\n\n        \n            <div class=\"swiper-card-concert-current\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"nav-swipper-concert-current\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-card-concert-current-button-prev\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"swiper-card-concert-current-button-next\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        \n    \n<\/section>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<section class=\"container titre-secondaire\">\n    <h2 class=\"\">Program<\/h2>\n            <p><p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PROLOGO<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} --><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Act I<\/h4>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>In Cielo<em>, Orchestra di Angeli, Giustizia Divina, Elementi, Acqua<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Act II<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Terra, <em>Rad, No\u00e8, dio, Coro (Figli di No\u00e8)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Act III <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Il Diluvio, <em>Morte, Natura humana, No\u00e8, Rad, Coro (l&#8217;umanit\u00e0)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Act IV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In l&#8217;arca di No\u00e8, <em>No\u00e9, Rad, Coro<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Performance running time: 1 hour 30 minutes with intermission<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<a class=\"link-default link-center link-circle\" href=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/production\/production-3\/\">\n    <div class=\"content-circle\">\n        <div class=\"circle\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <span class=\"title\">\n        Album    <\/span>\n<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Valerio Contaldo<\/strong>, <em>No\u00e9, tenor<\/em><br\/><strong>Ana Quintans<\/strong>, <em>Rad, soprano<\/em><br\/><strong>Kacper Szel\u0105\u017cek,<\/strong> <em>Death,<\/em> <em>countretenor<\/em><br\/><strong>Matteo Bellotto<\/strong>, <em>God, bass<\/em><br\/><strong>C\u00e9cile Achille<\/strong>,<em> Water, soprano<\/em><br\/><strong>Ana Viera Leite<\/strong>, <em>Air &amp; Human Nature, soprano<\/em><br\/><strong>Anthea Pichanick<\/strong><em>, Divine Justive, alto<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ch\u0153ur de Chambre de Namur<\/strong><br\/>Direction<strong> Leonardo Garc\u00eda Alarc\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the press is saying<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Concert Classique &#8211; Coups de C\u0153ur \u00e0 Chantilly <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>A &#8216;catalog&#8217; of human emotions&#8217; said the Argentinian conductor of the Diluvio, &#8216;music you just have to see to hear&#8217;: no doubt that with the theatrical experience he has accumulated since 2010, he can only go even further in exploring and highlighting the work&#8217;s dramatic springs.<\/em>&#8220;<br\/><em><strong>Alain Cochard for Concert classique<br\/><\/strong><\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.concertclassic.com\/article\/il-diluvio-universale-de-falvetti-par-leonardo-garcia-alarcon-au-chateau-de-chantilly-retour\" target=\"_blank\">See full article<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Garcia Alarc\u00f3n submerges Versailles with Falvetti&#8217;s <em>Il Diluvio universale<\/em> &#8211; Versailles, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>The soloists, Cappella Mediterranea and Namur\u2019s Ch\u0153ur de Chambre are now seasoned performers, thanks to numerous performances and a 2011 recording.
