"The aim of 'Index of metals' is to turn the secular form of opera into an experience of total perception, plunging the spectator into an incandescent matter that is both luminous and sonorous, a magma of flowing sounds, shapes and colours, with no narrative but that of hypnosis, possession and trance"--Preliminary notes by Fausto Romitelli on the Cypres website (as viewed on Sept. 26, 2008).
