Coro di Morti

About

Staged in 1942 within the Teatro Reale dell’Opera di Roma’s Season of Contemporary Works, Coro di morti is documented in the Opera di Roma Historical Archive as a “choreographic invention” with music by Goffredo Petrassi and original choreography by Aurel Miholy Milloss. The performance was conducted by Fernando Previtali, with sets and costumes by Mario Mafai. The literary source is Giacomo Leopardi, and the year of composition is 1942. The world premiere took place on 10 November 1942 at the Teatro Reale dell’Opera, on a double bill with Volo di notte. The archival record focuses on credits, dates, and a small gallery of production photographs, without extended directorial notes or essay materials.
