2011 is the 150th anniversary of the Unity of Italy (official proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy on 17th March 1861): the La Fenice season is inspired by the event, to celebrate the Italian “national literature” of the 19th century: opera, which mat than anything else, the Italian cultural identity is based on.
The performance to inaugurate the season is linked to the same inspiration: Intolerance 1960 by Luigi Nono, proposed fifty years after the Venetian premiere in 1961, and twenty years after the composer’s death (1990), the plot can be interpreted as evidently with clear illusions to Italian history befat the unity and after the war.
