The stage was not always occupied by male singers, however, and it should not be forgotten that there were also many female singers who were equally as good as the male singers. This album, featuring Marina Viotti, who has released a series of notable solo albums on such up-and-coming labels as Aparte and Naive, offers a wide variety of masterpieces and secrets from the late Baroque period that could only have been created with the help of such a famous female singer. The setting is Venice, a major center of opera at that time.The program sheds light on the early 18th century, when many women were applauded on the opera stage while students at the girls' orphanages, where music education was provided as a national project, regularly gave high level performances. The selection of works includes a remarkable work by Porpora, a Neapolitan musician who held a prominent position in Venice for a time, and a secret piece by Porta, who gained fame both in Italy and abroad, and the selection traces their operatic virtuosity even in religious pieces. The Royal Opera House of Versailles Orchestra supports the soloists with a crisp performance, along with Andres Gavetta, who gives a crisp solo in the concerto.\n\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau de Versailles Spectacles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52171573690657,"sku":"4589538827847","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538827847.jpg?v=1766641983","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-it\/products\/4589538827847","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
