Donizetti: Chiara E Serafina
Label: DYNAMIC Catalog: DYN-57987 Format: BLU-RAY DVD Gianluca Falaschi Pietro Spagnoli Matias Moncada Fan Zhou Greta Doveri Hyun-Seo Davide Park Sung-Hwan Damien Park, PIETRO SPAGNOLIDespite the triumphant reception of his first opera, Gaetano Donizetti was young and inexperienced when he was commissioned to write Chiara e Serafina in 1822 for La Scala. Composed in haste, it was met with disapproval at its premiere and subsequently disappeared without a trace. Thanks to this revival at the Bergamo Donizetti Festival, after exactly 200 years Chiara e Serafina has returned to the stage with a fine production that brings to life an entertaining tale of pirates, lovers, disguises, deceit and peril in 17th-century Majorca.
