Tenor Ramon Vinay claims that during one long period of deprivation in South America, his high tenor turned into a deep baritone...

To achieve a fittingly "queasy-uneasy" setting for the journey into the subconscious, Australian Set Designer Barry Kay studied various plants under a microscope, then conjured a shadowy, organic world streaked with veins like a bloodshot eyeball. Into this membranous setting, Tancredi is symbolically born, wobbling to life to face his first crisis. It comes in the form of two female images representing sacred and profane love. Torn between the two, he suffers a series of hallucinations and his second personality emerges. This leads to a violent...
