Il Prigioniero

'Il Prigioniero', composed by the Italian maestro Luigi Dallapiccola and first performed in 1949, reflects the experience of its composer, a native of the Austro-Hungarian Empire who experienced Austrian oppression in Istria and then the arrival of Fascism. This opera addresses one of the most painful issues facing humanity, psychological torture, by telling the story of a cruel jailor who plays with his prisoner's hope for freedom.
