The origins of Pesaro’s annual “Rossini Opera Festival”, dedicated to the composer’s multi-faceted body of opera work, date to 1980.In addition to the standard repertoire of the great opera houses around the world, many lesser known gems from Rossini’s oeuvre are presented, typically with verve, pluck and elegance.In this, the festival’s 35th year, Arthaus Musik has gathered four highlights in its release of its Rossini Opera Festival Collection – Live from Pesaro.Going from Rossini’s first work, “Demetrio e Polibio”, to his “Sigismondo” – an 1817 opera buffa which was a bust at its premiere performance in 1914 and has slowly slipped into oblivion – to “Adelaide di Borgogna”, Rossini’s first serious opera, and his late opera, “Le Comte Ory”, a smashing success in 1829 and on the program of Opéra de Paris and other international stages for decades, this collection offers a cross section of the great composer’s opera creations that will be welcomed by any fan of Rossini’s work.This 6DVD/4Blu-ray box includes three World Premiere Recordings and several special Bonus Features.“The Rossini Festival in Pesaro is a little Italian variant of Bayreuth and Salzburg – it has national importance and an international audience.… there should be more such rewarding festivals...” – Süddeutsche Zeitung
