Un re in ascolto is an opera with music and libretto by Luciano Berio. Based on the short story Under the Jaguar Sun by Italo Calvino, it also incorporates excerpts from Friedrich Einsiedel's 1778 libretto for an opera based on Shakespeare's The Tempest. Berio himself described the work as an azione musicale (musical action) rather than an opera. The work was written from 1981 to 1983 and it received its premiere at the Kleines Festspielhaus in Salzburg on 7 August 1984, conducted by Lorin Maazel. (15264)
