Abstract

The present study explores the work of Giorgio Strehler, the founder and most prominent representative of Italian stage direction both in his own country and in contemporary European opera and prose theatre of the 20th century. An attempt will be made to show the osmosis of his artistic work with that of some of his students, focusing on the directions of Lluís Pasqual, who is the youngest and most active artistic descendant of Strehler today. As demonstrated by an in-depth analysis of Strehler's theatrical poetics, his line of influence on his heirs is continuous and clearly visible, a fact confirmed by Lluís Pasqual's study of the staging of Giuseppe Verdi's Don Carlo at the Teatro alla Scala.
