Program Details
SYNOPSIS:
In the mid 1700’s when Venice was at the apex of its power, young playwright Carlo Goldoni risked his career and rejected the traditional comedia della arte formula for a more realistic comedy based on the authentic personalities and emotions of his characters. In doing so Goldoni ushered in a new era of Italian theatre that soon influenced the form throughout the continent.
By combining incredible footage and research with recreated scenes from Goldoni’s life, this program tells the story of his youth, the triumphs and the tragedies of his middle years and the flourishing of Goldoni’s work when he moved to France.
