Pergolesi: Adriano In Siria

Directed by Tiziano Mancini

With Marina Comparato, Lucia Cirillo, Annamaria DellOste, Nicole Heaston and Stefano Ferrari

For the festivities marking the Pergolesi's tercentenary in his native Jesi, Ignacio García created a new staging of the imperial drama Adriano in Siria. His staging in Jesi's exquisite 18th-century Teatro Comunale Pergolesi includes the delightful comic intermezzo Livietta e Tracollo, thus following the precedent set at the premiere in 1734. A fine Italian cast and the distinguished Accademia Bizantina are led by the Accademia's director, Ottavio Dantone. Contains the intermezzo Livietta e Tracollo.
