Il tuo Viaggio: and the winner is…..

Maria Teresa Carletti is the creator of the design that has won the third edition of the ‘Il tuo Viaggio’ competition, promoted by the Rossini Opera Festival to reward a rising artist of talent.  The design will be published on the front cover of the programme of the opera Il viaggio a Reims, to be staged this summer at the XXXVI Rossini Opera Festival.  The prize was awarded for the following reasons: “The design happily captures, with essential graphic synthesis, the deliberately abstract nature of Il viaggio a Reims, a true unicum  in the history of opera, in which the characters are purely forms, without any precise psychological identity, and the very setting of the work is dramaturgically a non-place.”
