Summary/Abstract: With a well-developed dramaturgy, "Silvia" surprises by the way in which themeticulous musical characterizations of the characters were made, offering the protagonistsdistinct personalities. The most popular moments that place the opera in the first line ofsuccess of Emmerich Kálmán's works, reflect very engaging rhythms. The directorialconception pleads precisely for this “essence” of operetta, of the genre show, alert, frothy,built of overturns, glasses of champagne and fine humor. The director's conception mustinclude the appreciation of style and the visual side. The directorial conception and theartistic manifestation must achieve an aesthetic fulfilment and be legitimized in the stagingof the show by the rightness of the concrete quality of the actors / images relationship.
