First opera by the Italian composer Francesco Filidei, Giordano Bruno is directed by Antoine Gindt who finds the joins once again german conductor Peter Rundel. It brings together not less than sixteen singers and the prestigious Ensemble intercontemporain. A lyrical event, a vast European collaboration, devoted to the heretical and visionary philosopher condemned to the stake by the Roman Inquisition in 1600.

Giordano Bruno is signed by free thinker Francesco Filidei, a 42-year-old Italian composer and organist on a libretto by Stefano Busellato, a professor and researcher in contemporary philosophy at the University of São Paulo (Brazil) who related the « passions » of Giordano Bruno. Philosopher who developed Copernican theories, imagining an infinite universe and betting on the transformation of matter, adept at magic, fascinated by hermeticism and cosmology, a satirical author who was blasphemous, a visionary traveler driven out of a country to another, he had everything to end on the pyre of the Roman Inquisition.
