Follow the fortunes of the passionate Italian painter Salvini, who becomes infatuated with his patron’s fiancée Nelly in Bellini’s rarely performed first opera. Though written while Bellini was still a student, the indulgent, ardent and lyrical melodies are typical of the great composer. Tenor Enea Scala and ‘powerhouse mezzo soprano’ (New York Times) Daniela Barcellona lead an all-star cast in a tale of friendship, love and jealousy, conducted here by Italian specialist Daniele Rustioni.
Concert staging. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
