Description:

Another "Celse" beginning with "Ombra mai fuh" by Cavalli--the world's first film version! The Persian king, Xerxes, is in love with Romilda, the lover of his brother, Alsamene, despite the fact that she is betrothed to Amastre, the daughter of King Otterne of Susia. Romilda's sister, Adelanta, who loves Alsamene, persuades Romilda to accept Celce's love... From the Valle d'Itria Music Festival, which has been attracting attention for its interesting revival projects, the founder of Italian Baroque opera, Xerxes (Xerxes), a highbrow disciple of Monteverdi, will perform the opera "Piazza della Cavaliere", which was written in 1853. From the Valle d'Itria Music Festival, which has been the focus of many interesting revival projects, comes Francesco Cavalli's opera "Serse", which was extremely popular in the middle of the 17th century as the most famous brother of Monteverdi, the founder of Italian Baroque opera. The opera "Serse" is best known for Handel's opera with its opening aria "Ombra mai fu," but the libretto was originally written for Cavalli by the writer Niccolò Minato. After its premiere in Venice in 1655, the work was revived in Paris in 1660, and Cavalli's reputation grew considerably in France.The performance by fresh singers, mainly mid-career and young singers, including Carlo Vistoli as Gaitomo and Gaia Petrone as Celce's brother Arsamene, and the colorful stage design and staging with Persian patterns by Leo Muscato and his team are masterpieces of Baroque opera, The colorful stage design and staging by Leo Muscato and his team, combined with the lively performance by the Orchestra Barocca Modo Antiquo led by Federico Maria Sardelli, a master of baroque opera, bring this hidden masterpiece back to life in the modern age.
