Fall (production Love Affairs)

There was a time when fate decided which path to take, whom to devote oneself to, and which loves to pursue. This was also an era when opera flourished, when one could surrender to the gentle urging of the music and allow it to find the right path, even if a happy ending was not guaranteed. Today, however, fate is less reliable than ever and has been definitively replaced by chance. There is nothing left to do but place oneself in its fickle hands. Fortuna, the capricious goddess of fortune, comes in handy here: perhaps one will catch a glimpse of her unevenly distributed gifts.
