A gallery of portraits of women in the melodrama between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries: characters from different eras jump out of their frames of musical works by Handel, Cimarosa, Spontini, Gounod, Verdi and Puccini. The composers know how to descend into the depths of women and reveal their secrets: their music gives voice to the feelings of women, who often – in fact – remain unexpressed, prevented by confidentiality, hampered by indecision, blocked by fear. Free to cry or rejoice, every heroine goes to his fate, tragic or happy with their singing intended to resonate forever.
