Rossini (1792-1868)

Description:

Avoiding a sudden storm, Don Parmenione is dining at an inn with his servant Martino. There they are met by Count Alberto with his servant. The Count tells Don Parmenione that he is going to Naples to get married, and when the rain stops, he leaves in a hurry, but in his haste, he misplaces his bag. When Parmenione opens Count Alberto's bag, she finds a beautiful portrait of his fiancée. Parmenione decides to impersonate Count Alberto and marry her... Now, what kind of mayhem will ensue? The festival's artistic director, Jochen Schoenleber, has moved the story to the present day and made it a more satirical comedy by reading the accidental bag-swapping as a deliberate substitution. 1812, the eighth opera by the 20-year-old Rossini, was staged in Venice, where it was performed as a comedy with a fresh sentiment and a sense of humor, This is an excellent work that stands out for its fresh sentiments and comedic sense.The six characters sing expressively and spontaneously, especially Lorenzo Regazzo (Parmenione), a well-known singer who has visited Japan several times, and the music by Virtuosi Brunensis, led by Antonino Fogliani, the musical director of Wirtbart since 2012, is also a must-see. The light and stylish music by Virtuosi Brunensis, led by Antonino Fogliani, who has been the music director of Wirtbart since 2012, is also a pleasure to listen to. Naxos Japan
