Tancred spots a Moorish woman by a waterhole. He immediately falls in love with her. Her name is Clorinde and she is a formidable warrior. He seeks her out at every battle, even trying to protect her, until one day Clorinde changes her armour, wanting to go unnoticed. Tancredi doesn\'t recognise her and wounds her to death, thinking he is fighting an unknown warrior.
Taking up the story of Tancredi and Clorinda set to poem form at the end of the sixteenth century by Torquato Tasso in Jerusalem Delivered, Amour à mort stands at the crossroads of madrigal, opera and interlude. The narratives are interwoven and the orchestra participates in the plot. The instrumental works conducted by Leonardo García Alarcón and the improvisations echo the world of sound to support the slightest poetic inflections of human passions, states of war, calm and love.
