Antonio Gervasoni

Mi piece "Hologramas", an operatic scene for soprano, clarinet and piano, based on a text by renowned Peruvian playwright Maritza Núñez, was premiered at the Hyvinkääsali, a prestigious concert hall located in Hyvinkaa, Finland. Hologramas (Holograms) takes the apparent form of a children's tale, while at the same time revealing the shocking facts about what happens when the most vulnerable suffer the consequences of man's neglect. The piece was performed by Anni Niemelä (soprano), Lauri Vaahtoranta (clarinet) and Jussi Littunen (piano).

After more than a year of continuous work, I finished "The Dagger," a two-act chamber opera based on Macbeth. The libretto is a condensed version of the original text, with a reduced cast of 9 characters, 4 of which are taken by singers who participate in other roles, thus requiring only 5 singers. The instrumental ensemble is made up of bass clarinet, cello, percussion and piano. There's also a Spanish version, but it's not a faithful translation, since it had to respect the meter and accentuation of the English text in order to fit with the music.
