Programme Note
Synopsis:
Antonio, a well-respected Venetian merchant, is awaiting the return of his fleet, which will bring him lasting wealth. To help his protégé Bassanio, who is deeply in love with Portia, the merchant borrows 3,000 ducats from Shylock, the old Jewish moneylender. The strange contract that binds the two men stipulates that if the money is not repaid, the lender will have the right to take a pound of the Venetian nobleman’s flesh…
