If Hippolyte was a musical manifesto, a bold statement of what Rameau wanted opera to be, Castor is a step back to the bad old tragédie lyrique.
129. Castor et Pollux (Rameau)
128. La serva padrona (Pergolesi)
For a comic interlude of 45 minutes, La serva padrona carries a lot of weight on her slim shoulders. She’s the ancestrix of both the Italian opera buffa and the French opéra comique.
127. Germanico in Germania (Porpora)
Cenčić resurrects Porpora. For all lovers of opera seria, this is a must.
OPERA UNLEASHED!
