The directorial conception on operetta „Silvia” by Emmerich Kalman

Abstract

With a well-developed dramaturgy, "Silvia" surprises by the way in which the meticulous musical characterizations of the characters were made, offering the protagonists distinct personalities. The most popular moments that place the opera in the first line of success of Emmerich Kálmán's works, reflect very engaging rhythms. The directorial conception pleads precisely for this “essence” of operetta, of the genre show, alert, frothy, built of overturns, glasses of champagne and fine humor. The director's conception must include the appreciation of style and the visual side. The directorial conception and the artistic manifestation must achieve an aesthetic fulfilment and be legitimized in the staging of the show by the rightness of the concrete quality of the actors / images relationship.
