About
L’arbore di Diana (The Tree of Diana), which was staged at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in 2009, is a two-act opera buffa by the composer Vicent Martín i Soler with a libretto by the famous Lorenzo Da Ponte.
The opera focuses on the temptation and joy of falling in love. Though the plot includes features borrowed from the pastorale and erotic comedy, it also had political intentions and endorsed the abolition of convents and monasteries decreed by the emperor.
The director Francisco Negrín has produced a colourful and modern staging.
“What a beautiful tree!... Martin y Soler’s piece turns out to be a happy discovery, especially thanks to such an imaginative director as Francisco Negrin....” Opera Magazine

Awards and reviews
March 2011
Laura Aikin is a slow-burn Diana: reserved and beautifully haughty in tone in the first act; silky and warm as the waves of love begin to lap over her in the second...there's terrific unanimity between voices and orchestra throughout. Indeed, the house orchestra of the Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, are on wonderful form - neat, colourful and really alert to the enfolding drama.
