Turin, November 15th 2017 #alcantara, ambassador of Italian excellence worldwide, symbol of versatily and global lifestyle, is honored to gets on the stage of #teatro Regio with the Opera Falstaff by #giuseppeverdi, directed by Daniele Abbado.
Falstaff, the last opera by #giuseppeverdi that has been acted out in 1893, is now on the stage of #teatro Regio with the original production from the Lyric Theater in Cagliari. The director has created a fast and lively show from one side, intense and gloomy from the other side, emphasizing all the characters that live in Falstaff and in the universe he represents. A huge circular platform, which remember the stage of the Elizabethan theater, is where the comedy takes place.
In this context the curtain in #alcantara ® stands out creating a perfect link with the stage elements.
As well as the rough wooden planks, crossing each other, build up the circular platform on which the Opera takes place, the different textures of the #alcantara ® Interior collections create a prestigious curtain that helps to enhance this poetic and timeless set-up.
Painting brushes enrich the curtain with touches of light and are perfectly integrated with the different textures. The common value of the craftsmanship characterize both #alcantara and the #teatro Regio for the production of this authentic masterpiece.
