“I wanted to protest, but I knew that all my gestures would be in vain. It was only through music that I could express my embitterment.” 80 years after the end of the Second World War, we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Luigi Dallapiccola, the composer of the short one-act opera Il prigioniero (The Prisoner).
