Le piccole storie
Music by Lorenzo Ferrero · premiered 2007
Le piccole storie, subtitled Ai margini delle guerre, is a one-act chamber opera for young people by Lorenzo Ferrero set to an Italian-language libretto by Giuseppe Di Leva. Some episodes are loosely based on Guy de Maupassant's 1884 short story "Le Lit 29" and on William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. The stories do not touch directly upon the subject of war but depict moments in the lives of involuntary victims who subsist, as the subtitle suggests, on the margins of wars. The work, a commission by the Teatro Comunale Modena, premiered there on 9 December 2007, directed by Francesco Frongia and conducted by Carlo Boccadoro.
