For at least the last half-century, Strehler has been an
influential and integral part of European theatrical life; today he
is most closely associated with the Teatro Piccolo in Milan,
Italy's foremost repertory theatre. Outside Italy, Strehler is best
known through his directorship of the Paris-based Theatre de
l'Europe, his opera productions, and the plays in the Piccolo
repertoire which have toured widely. In this detailed study, David
Hirst evaluates the particular qualities which typify Strehler's
work: the lyrical realism which has become the hallmark of his
mature style, the fusion of naturalism, epic theatre, commedia
dell'arte and lyric opera, and the gift of interpretation and
production. Hirst traces this unique style through Strehler's
development from the foundation of the Piccolo to the present day
and analyses his productions of Goldoni, Shakespeare, Brecht and
Verdi among others.
