Commentaires : This is a one-act “chamber-musical” based on the 1936 play “The House of Bernarda Alba” by Federico Garcia Lorca. It premiered off-Broadway in March 2006, winning several awards, and leading to an original cast recording. Its operatic style was a fusion of “flamenco, hand-clapping and finger-clicking punctuated with yelps, wavering sustained notes in minor keys, labyrinthine interior musical paths, and eruptions into anti-melodic harshness” . Critical reaction fell neatly into two distinct camps: those who rose to the challenge of LaChiusa’s experimentation, and those who hated his “arty gloominess”.
