Sergey Prokofiev’s operatic tragedy The Fiery Angel was never performed in the composer’s lifetime – the
music’s brittle energy, drama and eloquent lyrical tenderness would re-emerge in his Third Symphony. The
narrative focuses relentlessly on Renata, who is haunted by an angel who turns out to be the devil. Director
Emma Dante describes the opera as an explosive mix of fantastical realism and endless confusion of
nightmares, madness, sexual impulses and cultural clashes’, and this Teatro dell’Opera di Roma production
was acclaimed as ‘a presentation of Prokofiev’s masterpiece which sparkles in all its grotesque glory’
(operawire.com).
