Lotharia

In Lotharia by Cezar Vercezzo a woman plays three suitors against each other; when two kill each other in a duel, the third kills her to avenge his friends.

Whenever performers in Vercezzo’s operas play a role for a few months, their real life slowly and subtly comes to mimic their characters' experiences. Sadly, the dominant themes in Vercezzo’s oeuvre are uncontrolled passion, romantic betrayal, scheming women, violent men, and third acts awash in blood.
