Il ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria - Amare

Il ritorno d’Ulisse is based on the story told in books 13-23 of Homer’s Odyssey, in which Ulysses returns home from the Trojan War after an absence of twenty years and slays his wife’s suitors, who have taken over his palace. Giacomo Badoardo’s libretto set to music by Monteverdi was premiered to great acclaim in 1640 during the carnival season in Venice, and because of its success, it was revived in the following season, an unusual distinction for an opera of the time.

Thelo - Royal Conservatoire of The Hague

The human psyche is vastly complex, but when it is boiled down to the core, there is one primal emotion human beings feel: Love. No matter how small actions could be, if these come from a place of love, they will certainly benefit the giver and the taker. This is simply because when we act out of love, we share, we connect, we create, we let the light inside of us shine as it was intended to shine, and the world becomes a brighter place. Even in the face of adversity, love remains a beacon of hope, inspiring acts of courage, kindness, and compassion.
