The performance of Tchaikovsky's Iolanta at the Teatro Real in Madrid is a captivating blend of beauty and emotion, earning high praise. This lesser-known opera weaves lush melodies with a compelling tale of love, blindness, and self-discovery. The opera's themes of awakening and the transformative power of love makes Iolanta particularly memorable. With fairy-tale charm that still reaches a profound psychological depth, Iolanta is set to one of Tchaikovsky's most expressive scores.
