Description:

Gluck's opera "Ezio" was first performed in 1750 and revised in 1763. It is a tumultuous story featuring Ezio, a Roman general who has just defeated the Huns, and the Emperor Valentiniano, and the libretto was written by Metastasio, who was very popular at the time. In addition to Gluck, numerous composers such as Pol Pol Pola, Auletta, Hasse, Latilla, and Haydn have set music to this script. This recording is a performance of the Prague version first performed in 1750, mostly sung by Czech singers, but the role of Honoria is sung by Yukiko Kaneshiro, who has been a resident singer at the Prague National Theatre since 2012.
