I'll Never See the Stars Again archiveA feast for the eyes and ears, the performance utilises modern staging with early music madrigals by Claudio Monteverdi. The company perform madrigals from the sixth, seventh and eighth books including the expressive cycle 'Lamento d Arianna from Monteverdi s lost 1608 opera, 'Arianna . This cycle is based on Arianna s lament after her betrayal by Theseus in the classical Greek legend. Poignant a cappella madrigals are interspersed with accompanied pieces including 'Chiome d Oro , 'Interrotte Speranze and 'Lamento della Ninfa . The show suggests a group of post-war Italian refugees who pause for a series of vignettes on life and love and relationships. The madrigals are sung in Italian, with short, poetic synopses of the text appearing projected on the set for the new audience prior to each scene. Running time 1 hour 10 mins
